Stash Doesn't Startup

It gets stuck here forever and nothing happens.
If I delete “config.yml” the app starts but as a new setup.
it started happening after I installed some windows updates
it gives no errors just waiting there doing nothing

alternatively, is there anyway I can make a backup of my database without accessing the app?

Update: after deleting the “config.yml” I was able to setup stash again, and it recognizes all my data from before and works and acts normally. but as soon as I quit stash server, next time I try to open it, the same thing mentioned above happens, and the only way to open stash is to delete config file, and set it up again. it does nothing after “using config file..” massage.

found the problem:

the culprit is FFmpeg, it was updated to V8.0 and apparently there’s a problem with it (idk what), you’ll have to downgrade FFmpeg to 7.1.1 or st similar
download Download FFmpeg 7.1.1 for Windows | Uptodown.com
extract it and introduce FFmpeg and FFprobe to stash in settings>system> ffmpeg executable path.
ps: very weird conversation between me and myself.

Builds - CODEX FFMPEG @ gyan.dev at the bottom of the “release builds” box is probably a safer place to get it, and would have been the old version
