After 10 mins, Check and see if DB-Wal file has been made in the current database folder and if the size is increasing in size. Restart Plex and Start Plex Server if possible.
If this does not work, in the current Database folder & delete DB-Wal and DB-SHM Files. Once Complete Place The New db/blob files in The Current Database folder on the HDD. (This last line will probably error stating ICU Root but carry on). sqlite3 .db "DELETE from schema_migrations where version='20180501000000'". (This line will probably error but move on). sqlite3 .db "DROP index 'index_title_sort_naturalsort'". cd C:\Users\\Computer user*\Desktop\*Databases folder** Open a cmd as administrator and navigate to the folder with the Database backups and SQlite exe files. Extract SQlite EXE files into the new folder on your desktop with the database backups. db (Delete Dates) See above for explanation Move the database folder to the desktop on your PC. If you can, Stop Media Server on Shield (you probably won't be able to). If that does not work, either try a different database backup repeating the steps above or move to solution 2. If not working, delete the shm and wal files from the current database and restart the shield. Restart Nvidia Shield and see if it works. (You will need to delete the date in the filename) (i.e.blobs.db- becomes .blobs.db) Copy .blobs and the .db backups from this folder onto your HDD current database folder. Internal\Plex Media Server\Database Backups (You may need to set up a share to do this ) Now navigate to the file path on the NVidia shield below, this is where your database backups are stored. All current database files will be stored on you external HDD in.Īndroid\data\\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases.
It's important to leave 10 minutes when restarting the plex server to ensure everything has enough time to start reading the new database files and start the plex server. If you do receive this issue, it usually means your database is corrupt.
Let me know if it does as I'm keen to know that my time writing this is not truly wasted lol. But either way, I do hope this helps Fix your issue. I will also point out I am no expert in Plex Database's. I'm happy to say that I've actually fixed this on numerous occasions now, although this solution is fiddily. Over the year people still comment today on this issue and over the past few years, I've sat down and tried to rectify this issue myself. So a few years back a created this post on this subreddit.
