    This thread caught my interest because after upgrading from v2.7.1 to 3.4.x my database grew from around 150meg to over 900meg. Also I noticed that whenever I made any changes to the database I would see a status message saying that 5 active playlists were being updated and it would often last for 20-30 minutes (This is on an AMD 8 core prosessor with 32GB of memory). On a whim this morning I deleted all of my active video playlists and then compacted my database. It shrunk down to 250 meg and is much quicker. I left the audio active playlists in the database. I never really used any of the video active playlists because I have everything I want in Smart playlists. All the active playlists were in the database were the ones which came with Mezzmo such as genre, by year etc. Anyway now things are much faster and no more thrashing with the active playlist update messages for 20-30 minutes. My database has around 3,000 videos and 3,300 audio files.

    Nice one... maybe you meant 995 MB? It's mathematically impossible to store even the meta information for 21.958 files in under 995*1024 bytes since this would mean 46 bytes for each entry, including file path, record ID, thumbnail, etc.
    That's assuming you don't have any kind of playlists or any kind of any other information in the database file... I think you get my point.

    Anyway, I just updated to 3.4.3.0 and the issue is STILL here. My DB slowly grew again from 180 MB to 3.5 GB the moment the server restarted (it does this in the background until all playlists have a thumbnail, ofcourse duplicated from first file of that playlist).

    Since I assume Mezzmo developers are clueless about DB optimizations and how relational tables work in general, here's my PHP script that does the cleanup for me. It requires the PHP binary ofcourse, to run it (outside the scope of this post), with the SQLite extension enabled.
    Make sure the server does not currently use the database, but LEAVE IT RUNNING (so it doesn't start doing stupid stuff when restarted).

    Save it as a .php file, then invoke the PHP binary with this filename as the argument in a cmd console (I personally created a BAT file that runs this full command).
    Note the final step (compacting) will require much time since the journaling will first make a full database copy on disk (so you need at least that amount of additional free space), and then delete itself at the end.

    Code:
    <?php
    
    // REPLACE the path below with your account's user directory
    $db = new SQLite3 ('c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Conceiva\Mezzmo\Mezzmo.db');
    if (!$db) {
    	die ("DB init failed");
    }
    //$db->busyTimeout(60000);
    
    // do everything in a atomic transaction to speed up the final commit
    if (!$db->exec("BEGIN TRANSACTION")) {
    	die ("Transaction failed!");
    }
    
    echo "Removing dead playlists...\n";
    do {
    	if (!$db->exec("delete from MGOPlaylist WHERE ParentID>0 AND ParentID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM MGOPlaylist)")) {
    		die ("Query failed!");
    	}
    	$deleted = $db->changes();
    	echo " $deleted orphaned playlists deleted\n";
    } while ($deleted > 0);
    
    echo "Deleting all playlists thumbnails\n";
    $db->exec("update mgoplaylist set thumbnailid=null");
    
    echo "Removing unused thumbnails...";
    if (!$db->exec("DELETE from MGOThumbnailData WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT ThumbnailID FROM MGOFile)")) {

    With the newest version my DB was compacted by almost 2GB using the builtin mezzmo database compact, did you try this?

    Yes, but i can't.. when i do this, mezzmo need more as the double space for compacting. but my drive have no diskspace for this (after 1-5 minutes after starting compacting drive c: is out of space and the pc is slowly and will near stay.. and so say the mezzmo popup "compact size the same before and after the compacting"

    And there is a way to move the mezzmo database to a different drive (at least for compacting this would be a way and with NTFS drives): Using NTFS Junctions/Hardlinks and linking the Folder to a different folder on a different drive and keeping the database there.

    You can move your Mezzmo database to another drive/folder. See this FAQ - http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...t-drive-folder

    Rather than using junctions or symlinks, I'd recommend following our FAQ to move to your Mezzmo database - see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...t-drive-folder.

    You're right Paul - I didn't know about the way with the ini (since I didn't move my DB) and thought if there is no other way there is this way
