Windows SQLite ReadOnly Error

Credit
If you, like me, are using Jellyfin on Windows, and get the error SQLite Error 8: 'attempt to write a readonly database'. from the logs, then this should help you.

  1. Head over to the Server-folder.

Go to the path C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server in your File Explorer.

  1. Give your Windows user permissions on the data-folder.

Right click "data" -> Properties -> Security -> Click on your user (eg. wraaath DESKTOP-blahblah) -> Edit -> Allow "Full control"

  1. Change database files

Now Windows might say it couldn't give the permissions to a couple database files. If that is the case, just navigate over to the files and individually give them the same permissions as previously done.
