RE: SQLite Error 8: 'attempt to write a readonly database'. - drnickriviera - 2023-08-23
Any more help to be offered? Here is what we know.
Jellyfin crashes on computer startup (not good).
If I run "C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe" it crashes.
If I run the desktop shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe" it DOES NOT crash.
When I run Jellyfin from "C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe" as administrator it DOES NOT CRASH.
I don't see the shortcut running the program as administrator.
I don't really want to set "C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe" to always run as administrator because it requires an "OK" click every time.
So what could be different about that shortcut?

If it were me, I would backup Jellyfin and reinstall jellyfin as a service.
C:\ProgramData\jellyfin has all the databases and configs.

I'd rather not go that route just because if I end up having the same issue it'll be even more of a pain to get jellyfin started every time. Thanks though.
