I just installed a new install of Jellyfin on my Windows 11 PC. I added all my media, scanned, etc and things were working perfectly.
Then while a movie was streaming from another machine, the PC running Jellyfin Server needed a reboot, so I let it and figured JF would start up automatically.
But after the PC restarted JF DID NOT restart automatically and when I checked the logs I find this error: "Error: "SQLite Error 1: 'no such table: __EFMigrationsHistory'.""
So my JF will not restart now.. I installed JF as a user installation and not as a service since the installer says that is NOT recommended. I used the "Windows->Restart" command in Windows 11 and things shutdown/restarted under Windows control.
I just installed this and hope I didn't lose all my work. More importantly, I need to make sure that JF survives future reboots. I have it also running on Linux and it works fine on restarts.
UGH!!!! my jellyfin.db is EMPTY! I just lost all my data... why? there isn't even a backup file.
UPDATE: Thank Goodness Windows 11 made a restore point for me and I was able to recover the old file.. but WOW that is a nasty bug!!!
Thanks...
