Recurring Database Errors - Failed to decode files

Channels DVR Server
#1

I keep getting these database errors that can't seem to fix. When I check my logs I keep seeing the same errors:

2026/08/11 09:58:01.483063 [ERR] Failed to decode files #62560: msgpack: invalid code=49 decoding string/bytes length
2026/08/11 09:59:31.296711 [ERR] Failed to decode files #62560: msgpack: invalid code=49 decoding string/bytes length

I wouldn't mind just deleting the corrupted file. I tried restoring a database backup from a couple of weeks ago, but the error is still showing. Is there a way to know what file #62560 is? I can't seem to find what recording that file belongs to.

Any Devs or advanced users that can explain how I match the file #62560 to the actual file it pertains to in Channels? There are two of these files that fail and fill my logs with errors. I would prefer to delete/re-add them or find another way to fix the errors.

#3

@maddox Is there anyway to tell what files these corrupted msgpack belong to? I would like to delete and re-record these corrupted files or at least know why my logs are filled with these errors.

It's not currently possible to fix this. We may just disable the error message.

Assuming 62560 is the file ID, you could try to view it in the DVR web UI:
http://dvr-ip:8089/admin/movies/62560
(This can display TV show episodes too, but some of the buttons won't work since this view is intended for movies.)

You could also try to view the raw JSON for file ID 62560:
