Grab the latest version of DBRepair: GitHub - ChuckPa/DBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases

To pull via command line:

$ wget -O DBRepair.sh https://github.com/ChuckPa/DBRepair/releases/latest/download/DBRepair.sh

I do not know if the Update option will work. The name was changed from “Plex DBRepair” to “DBRepair” which also means a new location at GitHub.

Looking at your db files, it seems the first run did not work for some reason. Notice the backup from May 12 is only 2.01 GB.

If you restore a backup, use the one from 05-15. There is no blobs.db backup for 05-12, and the backups from 05-21 and 05-24 are just as large as the active db.

You can re-run DBRepair with the updated version. It will take just as long as the first time (limited by CPU speed and hard drive read/write speed).

There is another option. If you’ve a faster system - PC, Mac, etc. - you can use it to clean the database files.

  1. Install and claim PMS on a PC/Mac. Do not create libraries. In Settings → Library, disable Empty trash automatically after every scan.
  2. Stop PMS. Toss the (empty) database files and replace them with com.plexapp.plugins.library.db and com.plexapp.plugins.library.blogs.db from the NAS.
  3. If on a Mac, use DBRepair to fix the db. If on a Windows PC, see Library.db size more than doubled in latest version - #186 by FordGuy61.
  4. Once the process is finished, stop PMS and move the db files back to the NAS.

Be sure to stop PMS on the NAS before copying db files to/from the NAS.
