|
|
*Q: The Tartube database is totally broken! How do I rebuild it? I don't want to download everything again!*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: There is a built-in database repair tool. Click **Edit > System preferences... > Filesystem > DB Errors** and then click the **Check DB** button
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: Try using one of the database backups - see `7.6 Videos are missing after a crash`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: Earlier versions of **Tartube** did in fact introduce occasional blips into the database. It's possible (though unlikely) that some blips still exist. If you really want to rebuild the database from scratch, this is how to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Firstly, click **Media > Export from database**. In the dialogue window, it's not necessary to select the button **Include lists of videos**. Click the **OK** button. Let Tartube create the backup file. You now have a backup of the names and URLs for every channel/playlist you've added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tartube's data folder contains the database file, **tartube.db**. Rename it (don't delete it).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can restart Tartube. Tartube will create a brand new database file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click **Media > Import into database > JSON export file**. Import the file you created moments ago.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the channels/playlists should now be visible in the main window. Click the **Check All** button in the bottom-left corner and wait for it to finish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your new database now contains information about all the videos, but it doesn't know that most of those videos have been downloaded already. Click **Operations > Refresh database...** to take care of that.
