[Solved] Plex Media Database
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2018 11:47 pm
I use Plex Media to make it easier to be able to watch videos that I have on my computer in different locations.
I recently was noticing that some of the files on my computer aren't showing up in Plex or not showing up as expected.
Thus I thought I'd take a look at the database that Plex uses, and downloaded it.
I then went to open it using Base, only to find that I got a Text Import dialog. I'd had this with other databases, so I wasn't too concerned.
However, when the file still hadn't shown in Base after 30 minutes, I was getting a bit concerned.
I checked, and found that OpenOffice had stopped responding, and that the memory allocation was being reported at nearly 500,000k
I have been unable to open the database file generated by Plex in any program, though, I believe I should be able to.
If someone wants to take a look at the file generated by Plex, you can find it here
This is a compressed file, at nearly 65M in size, with the uncompressed database file using nearly 265M.
If someone can figure out what I need to do to be able to see what's in that file, I would greatly appreciate it,
Please note, there are no options available to change how that file is generated, so any future files would be generated in the same manner.
