DBRepair (for Plex Media Server)

DBREPAIR IS BACK!

DBRepair has been completely rewritten from scratch for all supported platforms as a free-standing, no external dependencies, executable program.

🎉 Windows Users: Beginning with DBRepair 26.10.00, Windows is fully supported via a native, standalone DBRepair.exe executable! Previous versions of DBRepair required separate .bat or .ps1 scripts, have now been completely obsoleted. Just download, extract, and run.

DBRepair is run from a command line (terminal, Command Prompt/PowerShell, or ssh/putty session) on the local host machine. It must have sufficient privileges to read/write the databases. Because DBRepair is distributed as a compiled executable, it requires no external runtime dependencies.

If sufficient privileges exist (root/Administrator), and are supported by the environment, the options to start and stop PMS are presented as well.

Documentation

Full documentation (installation, every menu command, typical usage, command-line options, environment variables, supported hosts) is on the DBRepair Wiki.

For a complete list of commands in the menu, see: Menu

Situations and errors commonly seen include:

Searching is sluggish or broken
Database is malformed / damaged / corrupted
Database has bloated from media addition or changes
Damaged indexes / Rows out of order
Tables, Indexes, or other items missing from databases (seen in logs)
Importing data from other databases (watch history)
Cleaning up operational temp files which PMS has forgotten
Other maintenance and checks to keep your server running optimally
