Scan Media Library tasks fails every time

[cow666 6]

Hi

 

I'm having problems with a new install of Emby Server

 

My collection is made of several folders held on a separate windows server sorted into type folders Eg.. TV Shows, Movies etc

Each folder can be scanned and updated individually but when the Update media Library job runs it always failed

 

Please help

Log attached

Unfortunately this appears to be a corrupt database.

Corrupt: database disk image is malformed

I would wait for @@Luke to confirm it is the library.db though.  If it is you will need to use the Server Configuration Backup plugin to capture your users data to be restored in a new database, as you will need to delete the current one.

Thanks for responding @Happy2Play

 

Bugger was fearing as much...how do I delete or fix the database?

I would install the Server Configuration Backup plugin and run the scheduled task to create a backup to save your userdata, shutdown Emby server, then delete the library.db in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data.  Restart your server, perform a library scan, return to backup plugin and select your backup and only restore the users and user playstate section.

 

I would still wait for Luke to confirm it is the library.db.

Yes, it does look like the library DB.

 

This can happen if the server application is shut down abruptly like with a power failure or if you killed it with task manager.
