I’ve updated to Engine OS 4.0 as well as the Engine DJ 4.0 on PC. I tried to sync from desktop to Prime 4, but when I went to play the database was corrupted. I formatted the internal drive and tried a full sync of the library. It took a very long time as I have quite a few tracks, but although the desktop software said it was a success, after ejecting the Prime 4 and going back to standalone mode it says the database is corrupt. I’ve tried a couple of time so far and been incredibly careful about ejecting the Prime from the PC before switching to standalone, but it still keeps saying the database is corrupt upon loading and none of the songs will show on the device.
I haven’t tried other drives as I don’t want to risk corrupting those since they’re in current use. I was trying to sync the Prime 4 with smaller playlists and it was working until I got to about a total of 60GB on the external and then it corrupted.
Here’s a screenshot of the database folder before and after corruption. Engine DJ on the PC never gave any warnings or notifications of corruption and after re-attaching the Prime 4 shows as having data on the drive, but the playlist in Sync Manager is empty.
Before
After
It completely removed the m.db and associated journal on the Prime 4.
I’ve been doing this off and on most of the day today. I got up to about 77.8GB without an issue and then it corrupted at 78.8GB of music synced. I tried another full sync and had the exact same issue except this time I didn’t reopen Engine DJ on the PC and there was still an m.db at a heavily reduced file size. The export was successful and there were no errors in the desktop software. I’m going to have to downgrade because of an upcoming gig and I need to be able to sync my music to the hard drive. It’s been a week now. Has there been any progress on a solution? I’ve attached the screenshots from this afternoon as well as the nuked database2 folder in the hopes it might help out.
The checking finishes with no problem on the drive, then the whole tracklist appears and suddenly vanishes before being replaced with the error of corruption. Then it just stays on ‘Updating’.
J ai le même soucis également,avez vous trouve une solution car pour ma je suis en prestation ce vendredi soir . Au pouvons nous revenir a l ancienne version
I’m also having synch issues. As soon as the synch finishes I get the dreaded database is corrupt message. Have tried this on my local collection on Mac, USB and a clean install on laptop. Everytime the database() get the corrupt message, can’t see any music on any drives. Luckily I have a clone back up so can go back.
Tried downgrading to 3.4, no problems …
Is there any facility in Engine to run first aid on a database to check for errors? Anyway of restoring it or is it back to square one each time or restore back up?
Only way I can update my Prime 4 at the moment is by dragging and dropping new files and playlists
Same. I’ve downgraded to 3.4.0 and it’s working fine again. There doesn’t seem to be any way of running a first aid or repair on a corrupt database. It even seems like the Prime firmware and Engine DJ just deletes the whole thing in 4.0, so there’s really no chance to run a repair even if there was a tool. You’d think with such a huge bug they’d push out a patch quickly. Still, guess I’ve learned my lesson on getting the latest as soon as its been released. Luckily the downgrade and sync will be ready for my gig tonight.
I tried a few more combinations. If I have 3.4.0 on my Prime and 4.0.0 on the desktop, then I get the corruption issue. However, 3.4.0 on my desktop and 4.0.0 on the Prime 4 actually works. Could it be an issue with sync manager on 4.0.0 desktop software maybe? Of course, 3.4.0 on both works as well.
Im having a sync issue now with my prime 4+ and engine. Both latest versions on mac. I cant seem to get the engine library on mac to get them to transfer to the prime + internal ssd. Following my same workflow that has worked until I got more than 10k tracks.
