I heard that the latest version of Media Browser supports sqlite.

  • How do I enable this?
  • Are there any limitations?
  • Where do I get the files required to get this to run?

To enable the Sqlite embedded db:

  1. Copy System.Data.Sqlite.DLL to C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser (If you are running x64 you will need the x64 version)
  2. Edit your configuration file (c:\programdata\mediabrowser\MediaBrowserXml.config) and set EnableExperimentalSqliteSupport to true

Using an embedded DB speeds up performance for large collection, in particular the time it takes until you have the list of watched / unwatched titles, is much improved. Browsing through your collection will be faster.

There is one caveat though: If I use sqlite data store I can not share playstate , this is the main reason the feature is experimental.
