Hi, please take a look at this and let us know if it helps get you squared away: Corrupt Database

[bobbee001 7]

I tried the restore, didn't work.  Replace the ky db files from a few weeks ago, same problem. (data, metadate and root)

What I don't get, looking at the libraries they all show up in the config. Seems like a scan library files and a refresh metadata would replace everything, but it doesn't work.

I tried to remove a library and received "Exception of type 'SQLitePCL.pretty.SQLiteException' was thrown."

So it appears a reinstall is needed. I was using PLEX previously, for around 10 years, very few issues. This emby is a little shaky. I have had to reinstall it a number of times.

Unreliable

Are you ever force closing the server via task manager? That as well as windows crashes are the leading cause of a corrupted database. Always try to shutdown gracefully when you can.

[bobbee001 7]

Never, always normal PC shut downs. In fact this PC is usually run 24/7

OK let us know how things go, thanks.

The trouble with the backup, if there is an issue, it can overlay the good backup

I am going to copy the c:\users\me\appdata\roaming\emby-server file as part of my normal pc backups.

I assume that if there is an issue I can just copy this directory back ??!!??
