Server Version#: 1.41.3.9314 Player Version#:Any Hi Gents. I’m just wondering if everything is fine with these databases. Every day, I have to recover one of them, two or all three, and every night, while completing scheduled tasks I got a message “Database corrupted”. What’s wrong with it? No e…

Use Chuck’s DB Repair. I’m guessing whatever you think youre doing when you recover them isn’t actually bringing back the good working version. So you’re restoring broken databases is my guess. Are you deleting the -wal files when you recover from backup? Coz they’re not supposed to be there.

Hi, Christian. Thank you for reply. I don’t recover from backup, I use this recommendation every time: https://support.plex.tv/articles/repair-a-corrupted-database/ The recovering itself and followed tests finishes with “ok” Looks like it’s scheduled tasks it selves what are breaking databases d…

Switched off all scheduled tasks and nor “corrupted databases”, nor “(Plex Media Scanner), jid 0, uid 972: exited on signal 11” in syslog… As they say, that’s what had to be proven. Anybody know what exactly do these “scheduled tasks”? What does mean, for example, “Optimize database every week”, “Up…

scheduled tasks are those tasked PMS runs at night (default is 02 → 05 am) Database optimization is a simple sqlite VACUUM command to compact it. Upgrading media analysis means that it will look for newly added media and reanalyze anything not scanned in a while (if media changed). I usually tur…

I ‘PRAGMA integrity_check’, ‘VACUUM’ and ‘REINDEX’ databases using cron every night. And I don’t understand why Plex Scanner started by Scheduled Tasks every time crashes (Just a few minutes later 2 am). Everything is fine when I start it manually.

@christian_kent_drools Cool work on the HostConfig. I’d recommend you further refine that to ensure the host is BSD – Is there a default location for AppSuppDir or a common place to find it? Please remember, there are limits to what the tool can fix. Its primary purpose is to fix malformed D…

Look in your databases folder where the DB’s are. Are there any old backups (or do you have saved backups somewhere) ? When the data in the records is corrupted, there’s nothing which can be done except : Stop PMS Delete the WAL and SHM files (do they don’t corrupt the new DB you’ll use) Now …

[image] christian_kent_drools: I run nightly backups of the database folder, so I have backup databases, but they are all exhibiting the same corrupt behavior when trying to do a plex upgrade. When you run your nightly backups, do you stop Plex Media Server first, then perform the backup, and…

There is no documentation about the DB. Even with my knowledge and access, it’s too complex for me to fully understand all the relationships. Only the engineering team really knows all the details. I can offer you my DB tool which helps keep what you have in the best possible form. It clea…
