Server Version#: 1.41.7.9799 Pinging @BigWheel for better visibility. I’m attaching the two most recent PMS logs to this. I’m not quite sure what to do to fix this. I just recently updated to 1.41.7.9799 and the server is unstable and just stops responding entirely, though it’s not using high CPU. …

Is there a way to run this on a db that is controlled by a docker container? I have never heard of DB repair, and the versions you guys are throwing around I’m not familiar with. Answered my own question and found the utility in the thread @BigWheel linked above (repair tool linked below). Database…

Plex Media Server Logs_2025-05-22_19-22-15.zip (1.2 MB) The server has been in service for some time, so I’m certain it’s not the networking, I’m also certain it’s the Plex release… I have 2 servers, both similarly configured, in disparate locations, but this one is the only one that is serving up …

Having the same issue. After the latest update to 14.41.7.9799, Plex Media Server keeps hanging up on occasion and I need to kill the server and relaunch it. Had to do it several times today already. I don’t know if it’s the root cause, but Optimizing Database seems to be a trigger to making the se…

Got the same problem just after the update on a mycloudEX2Ultra from WD. I can’t access anymore the Plex server. Does anyone have the previous .bin package or know where to find them ?

@BigWheel Check out the massive growth of the DB since 5/12. This is out of my offsite backup directory. No wonder why the app has been misbehaving lately. [2025-05-22 19_41_11-tdarr-box] I’m going to attempt to restore the db back to 5/12, then optimize the db, then rescan my library.

Thanks for that info. I know there was another topic about increased DB size a dev was looking into

I was aware of that too, but couldn’t find it. Restoring the database seems to have fixed the issue. My recently added media is being reindexed now.

ok. If it starts to get out of hand again please let me know.

Will do and thanks for being so responsive.

Having the exact same issue ever since updating to the latest 1.41.7.9799. Starting and stoping plex allows it to run for a few minutes then it forces into Optimizing DB mode never finishes and locks up the server. I am running DBRepair right now its been running for over two hours and so far has on…
