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…

The dbrepair tool is super nifty! Unfortunately, I think I didn’t catch the growth issue quickly enough. Had my db grow from 688 MB to over 155 GB.
