Integrate Plex with Microsoft sqlexpress or mysql for database. I think that would increase performance with large Plex libraries.

If i remember correctly, Plex already uses SQLite for it’s databasing.

You seem to forget that Plex runs on a number of operating systems. &nbsp;SQLite is adequate for the work Plex has to do here. &nbsp;Many people forget that even a very large media set represents a very, very small database. &nbsp;The overhead associated with even mySQL would be inappropriate here.
