Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349 via Docker - UnRaid Player Version#: Apple TV Plex App, Plex/Web Local and Remote As of a week ago, my Mark as Played as well as the natural mark as played at the conclusion of a file stopped updating. No matter if I do it manually or naturally all shows and movies stay flagged with the un-played flag. If I take an older show/movie that has already been marked as played, I can mark it as un-played and then update it to played and that works. I am running the latest docker container. I have completed the Optimize Database and Clean Bundles. I have tested the library function in the AppleTV Plex app as well as the Plex/Web app via Firefox PC. I have removed and re-added the docker container (using the same app data files) The only thing I have not done is to remove my app data folder and “start over”. I cannot find this topic arsing so I am not sure where things may have gone wrong. I hope someone else h Any insight would be helpful.

Unfortunately your primary database file is damaged. You need to urgently either - repair it [https://support.plex.tv/articles/repair-a-corrupted-database/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/repair-a-corrupted-database/) - go back to a backup (and then repair it, too to fix potential damage which might already be lurking inside) [https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/) Here is a handy script to repair the DB for you: [GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair) ---

Thank you for the rapid reply. I was afraid of that. I was ultimately not able to do the repair, but had to do a dump and read to make a new database file and all is now well! In case someone else stumbles upon this and also uses Plex in Docker - here are the steps in a handy YouTube Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZDX7Gq7UFU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZDX7Gq7UFU). Community forums for the WIN! ---
