Server Version#: 1.41.7.9749
I’ve cleaned up my media and removed a lot of movies and TV shows which are no longer relevant.
I run the DBRepair tool frequently and after removing media I can see that the library db decreases in size but the blobs db always increases in size, like old entries are not being pruned.
@ChuckPa would you know the reason for this behavior?
Not that it’s a show stopper just curious.
Many thanks!
clean bundles?
Do it every time I remove several items.
Manage Server
→ Empty Trash
→ Clean Bundles
→ Optimize database
And then I close Plex and run DBrepair.
That’s what looks strange to me.
Pretty sure this has come up before. The blogs.db does not do cleanup like the main db, its done via the nightly butler tasks over the course of a week depending on which maintenance tasks fires each night.
You will likely need to wait approx 1 week for full cleanup of this db.
Must be something like that because neither Clean Bundles, Optimize Database or Chuck’s DBRepair can get the blobs db size down.
It just keeps on growing.
I can’t do anything with the contents of the DBs.
DBRepair relies on SQLite to drop (delete) physically damaged records as part of a repair.
Any records marked as deleted but not yet removed can also be removed.
When PMS runs, it can take the dangling (orphaned) Blobs DB entry and mark it as deleted (similar to how ‘clean bundles’ works)
I’m not a blobs DB expect so please forgive me if I’m not correct on this.
Many thanks, @ChuckPa.
