My fam and I use Plex every day but for weeks now I can’t get it to start. The Plex Media Server on my Mac mini just blips on the screen then is gone again.
I’ve had someone trying to help me (I’m not super tech savvy) and he’s gone over the logs and thinks this is the problem:https://support.plex.tv/articles/repair-a-corrupted-database/?fbclid=IwAR34HEsF3HrkUq1MbNip-UerBRuJ0bRnsyMdUzmcb8leW_s25LESWNrCqdk
He suggested I delete the library file but I can’t find any file that has both Plex and Library in the name.
PLEASE HELP! I need Plex back!
He sent me that pic of where he thought he found that problem.
If it’s sqlite is there a backup saved somewhere that I could use to re-initialize somehow? Thanks a bunch

In the file folder you should have ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server//Plug-in Support/Databases
there should be files like:
com.plexapp.dlna.db
To play it safe I would backup the entire folder, close plex delete com.plexapp.plugins.library.db and com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db and then rename the two files ending in db-2022-06-18 to .db and try to re-launch plex and see if that works
It worked!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
