@SE56 yaa that fixed it… i had also noticed my sisters plex wasnt added to the account and now it lets me do the 3 dots and i now have that authorized yet before you see i didnt have it. so plex database repair tool cant fix but this db tool fix it… they need to add that chuckspa directly into Plex then u click a button… but ya working now
what causes plex to need this tool used…? just a crash or something

I believe it’s just computers wanting to be perfect and when something is not quite right, bad things seem to happy. BS, I know but it will do for today. 
@ChuckPa another happy Subscriber, this was a strange oddity but your tool corrected the issue.

@SE56 ya computers are great when its working then boom when its not ur like what the hell lol… thanks for the help and maybe Plex will incorporate the Chucks app into plex so you dont know how to get into things just a 1 Button fix like database optomizer etc…
@ChuckPa great app helped this messed up glitch i was having
amazing how database can corrupt and bugger up the the program differently
but then again look at the Airlines other day 1 patch knocked out Airlines world wide 911 hospitals etc… all from a glitch…
thanks again to help and great program (: Happy Sunday to you both

Thanks for the kind words.
Plex can’t incorporate my tool because my tool works by stopping PMS. It must have exclusive access to the databases and data files to do its job. This is why I can get so much done so quickly.
Have you had time to look at the other cleanup features ?
Have you noticed any performance changes ?

@ChuckPa ah so how does it work like for me in Unraid Docker… i have to have PMS running to run your app… i wasnt able to run it outside with the PMS turned off
so like i have to start PMS
then Console inside the docker
then run DBRepair… then click the Stop PMS
or in PMS if your program just cleans up a database… you think PMS can turn off its access to the database… do the repair and then return on the database
as you can see in the above it even buggered up authroization too…
as for clean up i tried the vacumm i not sure what that really does
i basiclly ran the automatic… then ran vacum… and ran check… then started… and it fixed the 3 dots issue… it also fixed some of the tabs not showing up in the settings and fixed not showing my other plex server… as i have 2 plex severs under my name u can select from
as for performance i dont notice any improvements i still find that thumbnails still generate slow through the browser
even though im on dual mirrored Samsung 980 nvms and a 10g network to make sure i can maximize bandwith…
so i havent seen inprovements i find plex still slow at times…
but if there cant be incorpoarted in to Plex… what would be good is say
if you use say Unraid like i do
offer a User Script … that runs the docker and runs it in automatic mode… i had hell of time trying to figure out how to do it from the github page… as im a windows user not a 100% linux user… so if there was a offered script you can add to unraid… then it could run weekly to keep Plex up and running fine…
just a suggestion
and if it can be done in a user script and if you can add attributes
so i could do like once a week cron
sh DBRepair.sh --Auto
and the auto would shut down PM run the auto repair… tnen start up the PM docker if PM is already running
and in the user script all youd have to specifiy is the name of the docker
docker$ = “Plex-Media-Server”
something like that

If you look at the README.md and the Release Notes,
-
You’ll see the ways it operates.
– Auto detect of most platforms inside or outside a container (with ability to stop PMS only when inside a container)
– Manual mode external to a stopped container. -
Commands are given either as arguments or interactively.
(e.g DBRepair.sh stop auto start exit )
Please do see the README. There is a lot of info there.
ah ya i had read that … i had done the manual mode… and way i read it is
you need to have PMS turned off
but actually you have to have PMS running
cuz when you do manual mode i get this error
root@Tardis:~# sudo docker exec -it Plex-Media-Server /bin/bash
Error response from daemon: Container 3893576c16e8c1dffcd8f29d8a3b16b504fcc9f3a72483e9255fbe6a20a8bfd8 is not running
so the only way to get it to work i found too… you have to have the PMS running first dont stop it wont run without it unless i miss read it… as i do have dislexia and i miss read things at times
but ill re read the documentation to see how i miss read it… or it opens docker if its shut down
That’s where you missed it 
When I can identify the container, IF the container allows me to stop PMS,
then I give you the option to do so.
You end up with a command like: docker exec plex-container /config/DBRepair.sh stop auto start exit; docker restart plex-container

Curious what’s the reason for the docker restart command?
Shouldn’t PMS be started with the start before the exit command?
-Shark2k
ya so still PMS has to be running before you can run your command… it cant be stopped prior to running your command… as i still get that error
root@Tardis:~# docker exec Plex-Media-Server /config/Databasetools/DBRepair.sh stop auto start exit; docker restart Plex-Media-Server
Error response from daemon: Container 3893576c16e8c1dffcd8f29d8a3b16b504fcc9f3a72483e9255fbe6a20a8bfd8 is not running
Plex-Media-Server
so PMS has to be running prior to the container… is there a way a IF statement?
if the PMS is running then run
root@Tardis:~# docker exec Plex-Media-Server /config/Databasetools/DBRepair.sh stop auto start exit; docker restart Plex-Media-Server
if its not running Start PMS run the docker exec and then Stop PMS in the last state it was in
maybe id have to ask the unraid group how you do an if statement like that
