PMS shuts down as soon as it starts

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hey folks! Title says it all. I launch PMS, see the Plex icon in my top bar for less than a second, then it disappears. I’ve been using PMS for years, no idea what changed.

Thanks in advance!

MacOs, latest version. (10.15.4)
Server Version#:1.19.4.2865-4fa317f77-x86_64

You can try to repair:

I think something may be wrong with my Plex database, how can I be sure?

Looks like the blobs database - when running the integrity checker - run it on both databases

/Users/GirthDesktop/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db
and
/Users/GirthDesktop/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db

This did it. I wasn’t able to repair, but I restored an old one through Time Machine. Thanks!
