    This indicates that the database may have been damaged during the restart and the playlist table is missing the library playlist. Was it a normal restart?

    It was a restart because windows wanted to do updates.
    The library seems to still exist - its streaming files. But the library pane is empty as per the image. Doesn't even have an empty library showing.
    This of course makes it impossible to do anything with the library.
    Also when this happened the first time I did try restoring a backup. Made no difference at all. Pane was still empty
    I could reinstall - but this has happened twice now following a restart. Reinstalling every time ive restarted windows isnt practical

    Another possibility is the permissions on the database are preventing Mezzmo application from opening the database. Can you please try running Mezzmo.exe as administrator to see if it loads the database correctly?

    Backed up the database again
    Told Mezzmo to reset the database and still the library wasnt visible.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled again then restored the backup I had just made and its all back.

    i did recently install norton 360 - which ive not also uninstalled. Maybe theres a conflict going on there ?

    It could be an issue with norton 360 if it is doing something with the temporary database files for Mezzmo. Can you please try setting norton 360 to ignore the Mezzmo database folder?

    I had some db corruption before where some playlist items would be blank (matching rules was not working), and to completely reset the db with 1000's of items would take too long to start over since I like to do manual updates.

    it's a shame Mezzmo doesn't have a repair feature for the db maybe that would be something to add in the future, it seems like the log can detect errors just needs a way to fix the field or restore from previous backup...etc.

    anyways I have had good luck doing this, you can try this but first make a backup for the database, shut down mezzmo server and close out mezzmo, if you have a linux machine handy copy the Mezzmo.db over to the linux pc and run this command.

    sqlite3 Mezzmo.db ".dump" | sqlite3 MezzmoNew.db

    Then copy MezzmoNew.db over to your windows computer mezzmo database folder and rename it to Mezzmo.db, this should of fixed any corruption , reopen mezzmo, and see how it looks.

    there might be a windows port of sqlite3 (probably is) but since I have linux handy I never attempted to try anything else...
