Plex reverting to a older database by itself (deleted all backups already)

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: 1.14.0.5470
Player Version#: Any.

Hi guys, having a really strange problem, my plex randomly reverts to an older database (even removing Libraries) … if I restart PLEX… it goes back to normal… does it randomly, every few hours/days.

I’ve wiped, and re imported database/Preferences.xml.

I would not like to resort to re-adding all files and re scanning everything, I have over 4000 Movies / 40000 TV Episodes, 1000 Anime Episodes.

Any ideas on what to do? Besides a wipe / rescan (if thats the only way… then obviously I’ll do it)

  1. activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
  2. quit Plex Server
  3. wait 1 minute
  4. start Plex Server
  5. wait 5 minutes
  6. fetch log files and attach them here

Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.
