Hi,

I took one of my external HDDs with movies on a tour and well it didn't survive.

Is there a possibility to create/view a list of files Serviio has stored for that device?

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend.

The Serviio database is Derby, and runs in single user mode. That means that you cannot access it if Serviio is running. If you stop the Serviio service, you can open the DB and view the contents. Yes, file path is contained in it, so you will be able to determine what was on the drive.

To ensure the safety of the DB, I suggest you stop Serviio, copy the DB into another location, then restart Serviio. That way there's no way to corrupt the existing DB by touching something you shouldn't. :D

There are several programs you can use to open a Derby DB. I have used Squirrel SQL with no issues.
