Ok, so how do you suddenly get an unexpected error loading all movies by name??? It works by name in reverse z-a, but everything vanishes and suddenly “unexpected error” and I can’t see my movie library. This is a joke. Plex is a waste of money and a broken program. I’m so tired of these UNEXPEC…

Tell me something I don’t know mate. No offence, but I’m over the run around “repair database”. It’s a bandaid solution and it needs a permanent solution.

Database corruptions are often caused by things outside of Plex’s control. We’ve put in checks to make sure we don’t alter the database when it is busy and other instances that could cause the corruption. If you are constantly getting corruptions there may be some other outside influence. antivi…

Yes I realise there are many ways to cause corruption of the database. Firstly my plex library has never been moved, everything is stored on a local hard drive, the same hard drive as the OS. So why is it that in, let’s say a power failure, plex is the only system that becomes corrupt? Why not th…

[image] T.O.M: everything is stored on a local hard drive, the same hard drive as the OS. Yeah that’s just about the worst place to have the database. [image] T.O.M: A start would be Plex stepping up and making the process of restoring your library from a backup or repairing the library …

[image] T.O.M: So why is it that in, let’s say a power failure, plex is the only system that becomes corrupt? Plex runs using an SQL database. These can get corrupted if the DB is being accessed during the power outage. My guess is outer programs you have don’t use a DB. [image] T.O.M: …

Don’t you dare get snarky with me and call me stupid. Stop being defensive, plex has faults just admit it. Since when is storing your plex library on the OS drive a bad thing? (Especially since it is the default setting I might add). Nowhere does it say to move the library to an external drive un…

Firstly, thank you for actually responding and not just getting defensive and callling me stupid. Second, I don’t know anything about SQL, nor should I have to in order to run plex and have it be functional. Third, Plex assumes every one of its customers is a coder or something, this is obvious by…

[image] T.O.M: Second, I don’t know anything about SQL, nor should I have to in order to run plex and have it be functional. I would disagree slightly here. Keep in mind that Plex Media Server is a “server”, which is quite different than other programs. It’s true you shouldn’t need to be a …

I’m not an expert but I know a fair bit about computers and networking. I know enough that it shouldn’t be this trying to have a functional plex library. And yes please, I’m glad you agree with me In regards to automation of DB repairs and restores, it needs to happen or at least be easier. Als…
