Server Version#: Player Version#: so I’m not sure exactly when this started but I just tried to add some new movies to my server the library will not update with the new movies I have even tried to make a new library and put the movies in there but it can’t see the movies either it says there’s no media I can move things around that have already been added to the server and it will still find them but it will not find anything new is there any way to fix this without losing my data the server is running on an Nvidia Shield everything is on the latest version and I have tried restarting I have tried unplugging and plugging it back in so just assume I’ve done the little basic troubleshooting sorry if this is hard to read I have a reading and writing this order and have to use speech-to-text ask questions if something doesn’t make sense or you need more info ---

Same here. I have tried to upgrade to the newest server beta version (1.25.8.5621), to replace the db files by an archived one, no change. Impossible to add anything. Other network functions do not work either such as adding online subtitles. ---

What is running plex? Ill bet its a NAS or linux setup and you are running into file/directory permission issues. ---

Looks like you have a corrupt database `database disk image is malformed` is quite common in your logs. ---
