Library Corrupts itself often - any backup possible?

Hi
My Serviio Library gets corrupted everytime i add a large number of folder & files.

My Steps:
1 Install Serviio fresh = OK
2 Add 'Folder' to Serviio (about 375movies) = OK
3 Wait 3hrs for Library to be updated = OK
4 Any day Add another folder 'TV Shows' (about 5 series) or Add more movies (50 or more folders) = Library becomes corrupt and Serviio stops working = Corrupt Library

The only way to fix this is to
1 Remove Serviio
2 Start again (steps above)

Q1 - Is there any way to 'SAVE' my library that I can restore without having to wait such a long time for 'Library is being updated' message?
Q2 - Would you know why Serviio gets corrupt when you try to add more movies/tv shows later on?

Thanks again
Great Product

Not sure about the corruption... never happened to me before. You can back it up by copying library folder.

Re: Library Corrupts itself often - any backup possible?

Hi,

Today i tested again
I deleted 1 movie file and added 2 movie files and then received this message

"Request cannot be completed MEDIA PLAY will return to the main screen"

What does this mean exactly? How can deleting 1 media file and adding 2 Avi files cause a corruption?
Is there are way to log the internal error being created?

The only way around this is to uninstall and reinstall again.

Thanks for your help

Same Issue with me, Library keeps corrupting, subfolders don't show any files in it anymore.
This happened 3 times now.
