Server Version#: 1.41.7.9784 After cleaning up my libraries some weeks ago my library.db size used to be about 176 KB. I’ve only added about 10 TV episodes the latest days and refreshed metadata for a couple of shows and now the library is about 377 KB and after optimizing the DB from the Web UI t…

I have the same scheduled tasks I have had for years without the db increasing in this manner. Scheduled Tasks [Tasks] There must be something else. Compare the size of the backup db from yesterday to the size of the actual db from today. The question is: Is this happening to anybody else?

At least not to me, as the screenshot from my server above demonstrates. The file sizes have been in these regions for months (I’m not adding very frequently).

Up until today mine was 250 MB At 5:05PM US Mountain time it was 246.35 MB. At 8:02 PM US Mountain time it is 278.2 MB with 2 people watchin…

so what version does this actually affect? I see the latest beta version addresses this. I’m on 1.41.6.9685

I’ve found the problem and there should be a fix deployed later today.
