An update on MacOS with Apple Intelligence introduction. Itā€™s optional so I will check out by disabling later. If the sound not up you would never know. ---

Itā€™s been there for almost a year. In AppleScript `say` means ā€œspeak out loudā€. ```auto sayStarted() { [$HapticOkay -eq 1] && osascript -e 'say "started"'; } sayStopped() { [$HapticOkay -eq 1] && osascript -e 'say "Its stopped"'; } ``` ---

Not sure if it was already discussed, but does the ā€œautoā€ completely do all the things that ā€œOptimize Databaseā€ in Plex does? So, after running this, it would be pointless to run ā€œOptimize Databaseā€? ---

Yup. Auto takes care of that part too. I keep this marked as it does a good job covering things a bit better than digging through this particular thread sometimes: [GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair) I donā€™t use the tool that often and ChuckPa maintains that really well so I always go back to it when I need to update and run it again to make sure Iā€™m doing the right stuff. šŸ™‚ ---

I recently started getting Plex crashes with an error in the container of: `Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB.` Did some searching and came across this script. Awesome! Executed ā€˜automaticā€™ within the container (LSIO on unraid) and it just sits there. Iā€™ve let it run for 5+ minutes before control-c. ```auto Enter command # -or- command name (4 char min) : automatic Automatic Check,Repair,Index started. Checking the PMS databases ``` In looking at some peopleā€™s screenshots with timestamps, it looks like that first part should take a couple of seconds. Am I just impatient and I need to let this run for tens of minutes, or am I running into some strange issue? Thanks! Edited: After about 20 minutes of waiting it seems to have progressed (with OKs)! I guess Iā€™m just impatient! ---

I just deleted nearly 1,000 bif.tmp files in the \Media\localhost\ folders totaling nearly 1TB in size which got me thinking. Can you create a function similar to Purge that would remove unused/orphaned bif files? If over the years Iā€™ve accumulated this many tmp files, potentially, how many bif files remain for videos that have been deleted or moved? that was a lot of space I recovered and the only reason I noticed was because my backup was so much less than the original (only files excluded were .tmp) ---

For the past 2 updates, entering only 88 to check for updates on **Ubuntu** prints a long list of (all?) prior versions. Also, entering only 88 when there is no updates available will ask _Ok to remove temporary databases/workfiles for this session?_ Not sure if this is intended. ---

Thatā€™s your database being overloaded currently. You can wait until it eases up, or you can terminate PMS (should be your last choice). ---
