(File removed)
Hi. Been running Plex for over 10 years, and I’ve never had any problems. All of a sudden, I can’t open Plex Media Server. It opens for 3 seconds, and then closes.
I’ve followed the “repair the database” commands, but got many errors including “disk image is malformed”.
Looks like that database got fried.
Do you have a time machine backup from when it still used to work? If you restore that you might need to reclaim your server.
As an alternative you can take a look at restoring a database copy backed up by Plex as part of its scheduled maintenance tasks. If you have those, the latest backup should be the last file when the database was still ok.
