Every so often a problem with the database crops up. Until now I had to search forums for fixes to repair a corrupted database. Recently the issue reappeared, and someone has simplified the repair process with an automated script. The script is available at »<a href="https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair" title="ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases" target="_blank" >ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair</a>«. The procedure is straightforward: clone the repository, run <code>./DBRepair.sh</code>, choose the option <code>1</code> to stop the Plex Media Server, and then select <code>2</code> for the automatic repair. The whole process takes only a few minutes and requires no further input, except at the end to choose option <code>7</code> to restart the Plex Media Server.</p> I’ve been using Plex for several years, initially on a Mac mini and more recently running it in a Docker container.

Wonderful piece of software that saved me another hour I could spend on more interesting things.

However, I run into a small problem: audiobooks aren’t indexed very well1. But thanks to the plugin Audnexus I can work around this issue. It’s been running here for about six months and has been working perfectly. So it’s my clear recommendation to anyone who wants to centralize their audiobooks in a similar way.

A small aside: although Plex’s default features are perfectly adequate for enjoying audiobooks, I can’t help but point out the charming app Prolog. A must-have for all audiobook enthusiasts.
