Issue getting movies (tv shows are fine) to play on one TV and iphone

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834
Player Version#:

In the last month or two something strange started happening. On my main samsung TV (new model within past 2-3 years to not an old model) when I try playing movies I get error message saying " an error occurred loading items into your queue". TV shows load an play fine and as does any movies that are in progress. On other TVs and on my computer I am able to play all movies but they do not show up as in progress or retain where I stop them on any of my TVs. I also tried playing on my iphone and same thing is happening in that movies that are not in progress does not play (but TV shows do and so do in progress movies).

I have tried rolling back to older versions of plex and that makes no difference. On my iphone when picking a movie it spins for a bit then says “Uh Oh… Something is not rights and says to check if server is available and try again:”.

I finally figured out where I can see a log and when looking at the log as I try starting a movie on my TV or iphone I get the following error on the console: database corruption at line 84325.

Wondering how I can get this fixed. All help is appreciated as beginning to get very frustrating.

You’ve database corruption.

Download and run DBRepair for Plex Media Server.

To download:

  1. Go to this page: DBRepair/Windows/DBRepair-Windows.bat at master · ChuckPa/DBRepair · GitHub
  2. Click on the “download raw file” button (on the right, with arrow pointing down, to the right of “Raw” button).

To run:

  1. Do not double click on the .bat file.
  2. Run it from a command prompt, C:\DBRepair-Windows.bat

It will try to repair the Plex database. If it cannot, write back and include the output.


Example output:

C:\DBRepair-Windows.bat

NOTE: This script is being replaced with the PowerShell script DBRepair-Windows.ps1,
      which aims to better emulate DBRepair.sh (more options, interactive mode, etc).
      Consider moving over to the new script.
