Server Version#:1.23.5.4841
Hi,
Brand new Plex install on a Synology unit running DSM 6 - never had Plex on it before.
Have followed the instructions for transfering an existing Plex installation. The instructions made no distinction, but the old install was on a ReadyNAS. Both old NAS and new NAS are 64bit x86 chips not Arm.
The Synology fails to run Plex, giving an error in the log.
So I followed the instructions to us an old automatic Plex database backup and delete the -shm and -wal files. Except that fails also. And an older automatic Plex database backup. And an even older one.
So, I go to run the SQLite commands to repair the database.
root@NAS:/var/packages/Plex Media Server/target# ./"Plex SQLite" "/volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" "PRAGMA integrity_check"
Error: file is not a database
root@NAS:/var/packages/Plex Media Server/target# ./"Plex SQLite" "/volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" ".output recover.out" ".recover"
SQL error: file is not a database
Hmm.
And so I tried it on the old automatic Plex database backup and got the same. And the same on the even older one.
So:
- Could something else be causing it, that I’ve messed up in the transfer? Plex was a fresh install on the Synology.
- Is it just bad luck that it transpires the OS partition on the ReadNAS was corrupt? (Or the files have got corrupted on their way out of the ReadyNAS?)
Thanks
