Malformed Jellyfin Database - Winthryth - 2025-03-15
Yesterday I added a TV show episode to my Jellyfin server and noticed that the "Scan Media Library" task toke an unusually long time to complete. ~ 5 minutes. After that I discovered that all future "Scan Media Library" and "Extract Chapter Images" task failed with the error "QLite Error 11: 'database disk image is malformed' ". The full logs for both tasks are included. I tried removing the mentioned tv show episode, but that did not fix it. I also confirmed that while the "Scan Media Library" task failed I was able to add a new movie to my Jellyfin Server. The Jellyfin server has not recently run out of space nor have any unexpected shut downs/crashes. The server is running on Ubuntu and version 10.10.6 and the last backup I have is from 10.10.4.
Anybody have any advice on how to fix the database? Or if I can't fix it, how do I proceed? Can I regenerate the database from scratch, just delete it can let Jellyfin make a new one, have to completely uninstall Jellyfin and delete all data and start over?
Thanks

Did your disk fill up recently? The disk where jellyfin runs from?
RE: Malformed Jellyfin Database - Winthryth - 2025-03-15
Nope, disk has not filled up recently.

I'm wondering if that message is for the playback reporting plugin and not the main jellyfin db.
As for the scan taking a long time, did you enable trickplay creation and chapter image extraction on library scan?
RE: Malformed Jellyfin Database - Winthryth - 2025-03-16
Disabled the Playback Reporting and Reports plugins and Media Scan and Extract Chapter Images task still fails with the same error. I do have trickplay creation and chapter image extraction set on library scan, but the 5 minutes was still unusually long for a scan that only added a single tv episode.

You're probably screwed, unless you have a recent backup. Not sure what would have caused this issue other than the disk filling up or a hard crash.
RE: Malformed Jellyfin Database - Winthryth - 2025-03-16
Last backup ins from 10.10.4, and I am one 10.10.6. Is my only option completely uninstall jellyfin, and all data files, and rebuild from scratch? No way to rebuild the database from my current install?
