What would be the appropriate Database Cache Size (MB) if I had example, 120K movies and 600K episodes?
40mb is probably too low

Previously Plex’s SQLite cache\_size was 2000 pages, and Plex’s model database page\_size is 1024 bytes. The end result was a SQLite cache size of about 2MB.

The default is way more than enough for the little it does.
