Plex DVR seems to have corrupted somehow, and I cannot even remove it to reset it. Setting up Plex from scratch is not an option. Logs available on request.
I’m hoping there’s some way to manually remove the Plex DVR setup manually. I tried removing the DVR references in the DB, but it still is trying to refresh guide of a non-existent Plex DVR and still thinks there is a tuner-less DVR. Help would be much appreciated.
I found this in the log.

Except that none of the DBs should be read-only. They have write flags on the owner.
Hello??? I really could use some help here.
@Ridley can you help ping a Plex dev that can help with this? I’m not afraid to get technical.
The SQLITE errors are usually not referring to missing write permissions but some database corruption. That would also explain why your attempted changes don’t stick.
Can you check the database for corruption and attempt to repair it?
Thank you for the response, I will get right on that. .
Unfortunately, it didn’t help. The primary DB appears to be intact. It successfully dumped, and imported the dump, and passed all integrity checks. I did not an oddity. I see Plex working on another DB called, tv.plex.providers.epg.cloud-319568ff-dcf9-4816-afba-e3c4cb2611a4-loading.db, which the EPG is precisely what is broken right now. I noticed that it was missing write permissions, so I added the perms and restarted Plex, only for Plex to remove the write flags from the DB and get stuck in the same issue. This appears to be a bug.

Ended up expanding the scope of the ticket ever further.
