Media removed making error in database

[Hjlfmir 15]

Hi all,

I have an issue with my EMby server on Synology.
When I put new medias in a folder they aren't found by server.
I found that the issue is caused by an old media (removed) still in the database.
Seems Emby can't remove it and is not able to continue to "parse" the folder.

I tried to put a file with the same name and remove it from Emby, not succedded.

 

Here the error in the log, maybe someone could help me

Thank you.

Hi, what did you try to do?

[Hjlfmir 15]

Hi, for now, I follow the link and did these following :

- Remove Database Locks

- Run Integrity Check

- Recover library.db : here, at the end, I can't start Emby (always return to "Manually stop"). I have to delete library.db and restore from library.old :s (check owner and permissions, all is good).

Are you all set now?

[Hjlfmir 15]

Hello Luke,

Nope, still the same issue and I didn't succeed in recovering the Library (Emby wasn't starting after the file "exchange").
So for now I'm still stuck :s

Is there any way to remove easily this entry from the database ?

Edited June 26, 2023 by Hjlfmir

[Luke 40077]

Deleting the database file altogether will be the best way.

Hi Luke,

Too many years of manual entries inside, can't imagine re-do everthing oO !

Hi,

Is there anyway to "repare" the database whithout deleting it ?

You're going to have to delete the rows from the MediaItems table. When you try to do that, you're going to get errors about foreign key constraints from other tables, so basically, you'll need to delete rows from those other tables first before you can delete the rows from MediaItems. Try it with something like DB Browser for sqlite to see what I mean. This is assuming you have experience working with databases though.

Hi Luke,

Tahnk you for your help. I'll have a look into this

Hi Luke,

After manually removed all items manually, DB and Emby is going well

Thank you for your help
