So I’ve been having some odd issues getting things playing with Plex. I figured I’d check on the database. It seems hosed beyond my ability to repair (but PMS is up and limping). I’ve tried the repair a corrupt db article on the db itself as well as all four of the backups. I get the following error from the integrity check. If I ignore the errors, the dump restore returns a db size of 0kb (with no errors).

Please help.
