Last week my Lidarr instance failed to start. It was throwing a " Malformed database" error in the logs. I followed the suggestions here: Radarr FAQ | Servarr Wiki
None of the suggestions there helped. I also tried to do the .dump option which is supposed to extract the usable data to a new file, then I loaded that into a new DB. This also didn’t seem to work. I can’t remember if Lidarr started and then got into the next problem (see below), or if it continued to have the “malformed” error.
I can get to a point where I wipe out the DB, then start Lidarr and it creates a new DB. Lidarr starts and I can get to the UI. But when I try to add my music directory location, it seems to fail and then just starts to restart constantly, no error in the logs.
Any idea what it could be? Or what my next steps are?
