SQLite Error 8: 'attempt to write a readonly database'.

[drnickriviera]

Hi all. I hope you can help me with this problem. I've been using Jellyfin for a few years now with no issues - but I'm not a power-user by any means. I started having some problems with my database (constant spinning circle for days) after having to move my media after a lightning strike took out a computer. Eventually I decided to start from scratch. I totally removed Jellyfin and its install directories and installed version 10.8.10 using the Windows installer.

Now HALF OF THE TIME when Jellyfin starts up it immediately crashes. Basically, Jellyfin starts, immediately crashes, click OK, exit Jellyfin from the tray and restart from the icon and it works fine from that point (although I think if you start stop it again you have to go through the same crash/no crash procedure).

There are no entries in the Jellyfin log but the Windows Event Log shows the following. Does anyone know why this issue is sporadic, more importantly, how to fix it? It's not the end of the world but I'd like to see it go back to working flawlessly. Thanks in advance.
