Database Locked - enesha - 2025-11-09
Greetings All
I've been spammed with errors in the log files recently. Such as these two:
[16:11:12] [ERR] [24] Jellyfin.Api.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request. URL POST /Sessions/Playing/Progress.
Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteException (0x80004005): SQLite Error 5: 'database is locked'.
and
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbUpdateConcurrencyException: The database operation was expected to affect 1 row(s), but actually affected 0 row(s); data may have been modified or deleted since entities were loaded.
It seems to happen randomly, tho it is especially angry when I do a library scan orguide update (like 4000 streaming channels). It eventually starts glitching, and grinds to a halt and I have to restart the docker.
It is even missing media files. I added a show called Earth Abides, it seems to know the directory is there, but the media doesn't show in JF.
The log can be found here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZqomKcRYg_fTJxXmHzbaBs-LmIM3ge75/view?usp=sharing
Thoughts are appreciated
