Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Please don’t bash me if this has already been asked and answered. I did do a search before I asked. I am trying to setup an ODBC connection on windows 7. to begin with, I am assuming they are using SQLite. I have downloaded the ODBC drivers I could find; http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/

After I installed; both 86 64 version in separate attempts but am not able to make the connection. I have copied the .db from my server as well as try to connect directly.

Can someone please advise what I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appriciated

Not a windows dude here, but curious here.

What are you trying to do?

I am attempting to create a companion app’ something to deal with duplicates and other various things. Once I get the connection working, I;ll be asking people for ideas on other things they’d like to do that the couldn’t otherwise do as well as areas in the application that may be easier said than done. Just gotta get this connection first

Working directly against a live database is a very bad idea, and also not supported on all platforms.

I strongly suggest, that you instead use the rest api to extract the needed info

Take a peak @ my Plex2CSV to see howto

And the best way to crash the PlexServer, for sure. API are made for things like that.
