Corrupted database - add instructions to start with a fresh database to the help page

[markjbailey]

RD stopped working with a windows that popped up saying "Unfortunately Radio Downloader cannot start because you database has become corrupted.. Would you like to view some help about resolving this issue? I downloaded the utility to attempt to repair it, but it did failed to recover database. I uninstalled RD and then reinstalled it but it will not run, giving the same message about a corrupted database. I have repeated this procedure, shutting the laptop down after uninstalling and restarting to no avail. Any ideas?

Wow, I didn't realise the title field could hold so much :smile:

Sounds like the Radio Downloader database might be beyond repair in this instance then - you can try running the following command in a command prompt window:

move "%appdata%\nerdoftheherd.com\Radio Downloader\store.db" "%appdata%\nerdoftheherd.com\Radio Downloader\store.db.old"

That should move your database to one side, allowing Radio Downloader to start with a fresh one. Let me know if that works and if so I'll add it to the help page at https://nerdoftheherd.com/tools/radiodld/help/corrupt-database/

Great! Glad that did the trick - I'll leave this open as a reminder to add a section to the help page.
