CaptJ 0 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Posted May 27, 2021 I had an issue with 4.5 to 4.6.0 not accepting my credentials even through they were valid, this also may be related. Which was fixed when I went from 4.6.0 to 4.6.1
CaptJ 0 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Posted May 27, 2021 I think that might have been when it got corrupted.
CaptJ 0 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Posted May 27, 2021 Will the database repair delete anything? Collections, Libraries, Record Schedule?

CaptJ 0 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Posted May 27, 2021 Thanks all for assistance, I will do a database backup tonight and try repair tomorrow.

Had to restart server to let me login (this happened on several occasions). Right but we still need to know the exact error from the server log to provide the proper guidance to fix then issue. The previous posted error does not have all the information.

You don't need to backup to try the first option. It's not destructive. All you need to do is (covered in article) is shutdown Emby. If you can, verify no other versions of Emby Server are running. Then delete the two lock files mentioned in the article. Restart Emby and try again. If that doesn't fix your problem then by all means do a backup and continue with step two trying to recover the library.db. But just removing the locks fixes this for 95+% of people so it's quite safe to try and likely your issue.

Carlo 4560 Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Then you would want to try the Recover step. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44002210894-corrupt-database
Happy2Play 9780 Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 A server log will say whether it is a Busy: database is locked or Corrupt: database disk image is malformed. 1

djpufcio 2 Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 I was having exactly the same issue. Deleting the db files didn't work. What worked for me was running the Setup.exe again 1
Carlo 4560 Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 OK thanks for sharing that. Glad you got it fixed.

I deleted all of those "Recordings11111...." folders through windows explorer. There were around 300 of them. 60 of them wouldn't delete. Those folders were showing in the Library settings menu. I deleted them manually one by one. I can restart the emby server without any issues. Thank you all for your help. 1

Yesterday the power supply failed for the external hard drive that the PVR records to. So the drive wasn't reachable for a while. I'm wondering if this had something to do with it.

Possibly as the rogue folder is for the default location instead of your custom location.
