That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install

nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:

node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm

20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them

SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them...

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880

) is classic Node 12.x.

If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard

If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:

The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.

<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc

yarn install

npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:

bash
grep

~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh

And path-wise: your NAS session is in

. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash

Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Thought for 8s
Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Thought for 8s
Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade.

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:

I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:

nvm use

If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>

Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<

;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Claude responded: Schema drift.

Thought for 8s
Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm

20
nvm

default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Thought for 8s
Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard

-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm

default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<

>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

Thought for 5s
That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:
Copy to clipboard
bash
node
-v
which
node
I'd bet on v12.x. Fix by upgrading. If you're on nvm:
Copy to clipboard
bash
nvm
install
20
nvm
alias
default
20
nvm use
20
If Homebrew:
Copy to clipboard
bash
brew upgrade
node
If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows
"Boosteroid"
--retention-days
7
One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Thought for 8s
Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

— NAS is missing 4 columns. On the NAS via SSH:

cd

sqlite3 archive.db

CHECK (transcription_status IN ('pending', 'transcribed', 'silent', 'failed'));
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_attempts INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN last_transcription_attempt_at TIMESTAMP;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_failure_reason TEXT;
SQL
That'll unblock today's audio sync. But the other audio tables almost certainly have the same drift —
audio_transcriptions
especially looks like it grew several columns (
start_time
,
end_time
,
text_length
,
redacted_at
, etc.), plus there are now whole new tables on source (
diarization_runs
,
diarization_segments
,
speaker_identity_evidence
,
meeting_transcript_segments
) that don't exist on the NAS at all.
Dump the rest of the NAS audio schemas so I can give you a full set of ALTERs in one go:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Still on NAS
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
.schema audio_transcriptions
.schema speakers
.schema speaker_embeddings
.schema audio_tags
.schema diarization_runs
.schema diarization_segments
.schema speaker_identity_evidence
.schema meeting_transcript_segments
SQL
Paste the output and I'll diff all of them against the source.
Bigger picture — this is the second time schema drift has bitten you, and audio is going to keep evolving (diarization, speaker identification look new). Two things worth doing:
Make the sync script source-driven for table creation.

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The
node:child_process
syntax (the
node:
prefix for built-in modules) requires Node 14.18+ / 16+, and your stack trace (
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880
, old
npm ERR!
format, npx cache path
_npx/47357/
) is classic Node 12.x.
Check what you've got:

If Homebrew:

If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc

package.json

yarn install

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:

<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:...

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_attempts INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN last_transcription_attempt_at TIMESTAMP;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_failure_reason TEXT;
SQL
That'll unblock today's audio sync. But the other audio tables almost certainly have the same drift —
audio_transcriptions
especially looks like it grew several columns (
start_time
,
end_time
,
text_length
,
redacted_at
, etc.), plus there are now whole new tables on source (
diarization_runs
,
diarization_segments
,
speaker_identity_evidence
,
meeting_transcript_segments
) that don't exist on the NAS at all.
Dump the rest of the NAS audio schemas so I can give you a full set of ALTERs in one go:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Still on NAS
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
.schema audio_transcriptions
.schema speakers
.schema speaker_embeddings
.schema audio_tags
.schema diarization_runs
.schema diarization_segments
.schema speaker_identity_evidence
.schema meeting_transcript_segments
SQL
Paste the output and I'll diff all of them against the source.
Bigger picture — this is the second time schema drift has bitten you, and audio is going to keep evolving (diarization, speaker identification look new). Two things worth doing:
Make the sync script source-driven for table creation.
Pull
CREATE TABLE
statements from
sqlite_master
on the source DB at runtime and apply them with
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
on the NAS. Same for indexes and triggers. That way new tables (like the diarization ones) just appear on the NAS without manual ALTERs.
Add a schema-drift check before sync.
For each table being synced, compare
PRAGMA table_info()
on source vs NAS; if columns differ, fail loudly with the diff instead of producing the cryptic "X columns but Y values" SQLite error. Or auto-ALTER missing columns when the drift is a pure superset (source has new columns that NAS lacks), which is the common case for an evolving upstream schema.
The second one is the more interesting fix because it handles drift automatically as long as it's additive — which is overwhelmingly what app schemas do. Want me to draft the bash/sqlite logic for it?

— NAS is missing 4 columns. On the NAS via SSH:

bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/screenpipe
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending'
CHECK (transcription_status IN ('pending', 'transcribed', 'silent', 'failed'));
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_attempts INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN last_transcription_attempt_at TIMESTAMP;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_failure_reason TEXT;
SQL
That'll unblock today's audio sync. But the other audio tables almost certainly have the same drift —
audio_transcriptions
especially looks like it grew several columns (
start_time
,
end_time
,
text_length
,
redacted_at
, etc.), plus there are now whole new tables on source (
diarization_runs
,
diarization_segments
,
speaker_identity_evidence
,
meeting_transcript_segments
) that don't exist on the NAS at all.
Dump the rest of the NAS audio schemas so I can give you a full set of ALTERs in one go:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Still on NAS
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
.schema audio_transcriptions
.schema speakers
.schema speaker_embeddings
.schema audio_tags
.schema diarization_runs
.schema diarization_segments
.schema speaker_identity_evidence
.schema meeting_transcript_segments
SQL
Paste the output and I'll diff all of them against the source.
Bigger picture — this is the second time schema drift has bitten you, and audio is going to keep evolving (diarization, speaker identification look new). Two things worth doing:
Make the sync script source-driven for table creation.
Pull
CREATE TABLE
statements from
sqlite_master
on the source DB at runtime and apply them with
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
on the NAS. Same for indexes and triggers. That way new tables (like the diarization ones) just appear on the NAS without manual ALTERs.
Add a schema-drift check before sync.
For each table being synced, compare
PRAGMA table_info()
on source vs NAS; if columns differ, fail loudly with the diff instead of producing the cryptic "X columns but Y values" SQLite error. Or auto-ALTER missing columns when the drift is a pure superset (source has new columns that NAS lacks), which is the common case for an evolving upstream schema.
The second one is the more interesting fix because it handles drift automatically as long as it's additive — which is overwhelmingly what app schemas do. Want me to draft the bash/sqlite logic for it?

That's not a Screenpipe bug — it's your Node.js version. The

If Homebrew:

If neither, install nvm — it's the cleanest way to manage Node on the Mac, especially since you switch between work projects.
After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:
Copy to clipboard
bash
rm
-rf ~/.npm/_npx
npx screenpipe@latest record --disable-audio --ignored-windows

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Thought for 8s
Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Diagnosed database path mismatch and schema discrepancy
Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):

After upgrading, clear the stale npx cache before retrying so it doesn't reuse the broken install:

One thing worth noting — your Jiminny Laravel work probably runs on a specific Node version via the project's
.nvmrc
or
package.json
engines field. Upgrading the system/default Node shouldn't break that as long as nvm respects the project pin, but worth a sanity check (
yarn install
/
npm install
in the app repo after upgrading).

Schema drift. The audio_chunks table on the NAS was created when you scoped the audio tables in anticipation — but the screenpipe version you just reinstalled (after the Node upgrade) has a newer schema with 11 columns instead of 7. The INSERT statement is generating column lists from the source, but the destination still has the old shape.
Diagnose first:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Source schema
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_chunks"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_transcriptions"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speakers"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema speaker_embeddings"
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".schema audio_tags"
# NAS schema
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
".schema audio_chunks"
# …and the rest
Compare the two. You'll likely see new columns on every audio table.
Since the audio tables on the NAS are effectively empty (you only just started capturing audio — the previous days were
--disable-audio
), the cleanest fix is to drop and recreate them from the current source schema.
Do this over SSH on the NAS, not over SMB
— schema changes + WAL over SMB is how you corrupt things:
Copy to clipboard
bash
ssh
-i ~/.ssh/nas-dxp4800 lukaskovalik@[IP_ADDRESS]
cd
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
# Confirm there's no audio data worth keeping
sqlite3 archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_chunks; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audio_transcriptions;"
# If both are 0 (or close to it), drop them
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_tags;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_transcriptions;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speaker_embeddings;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audio_chunks;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS speakers;
SQL
Then let your sync script's "creating tables" step recreate them from the current schema on the next run — assuming that step pulls
CREATE TABLE
statements from the source DB, which is the whole point of how you set it up. If it has the audio schemas hardcoded, you'll need to update the script.
If there
is
audio data on the NAS you want to preserve,
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN <name> <type>
for each missing column instead — SQLite only allows adding columns, not removing or reordering, so this only works if the new schema is a superset. Compare carefully before choosing.
After fixing, re-run the sync for 2026-05-20. And — heads up — if your sync script's table-creation step has the audio schemas baked in rather than reading them from source at runtime, this same break will happen on any future screenpipe upgrade. Worth making that step source-driven if it isn't already.

Something doesn't add up — the schema queries on the source returned
nothing
, meaning those tables don't exist in
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
. But the sync log earlier counted 38 audio_chunks and 234 audio_transcriptions from the source. And the NAS already has 5908 + 1883 rows of real audio data, not empty scoped tables.
So either the sync script is reading a different source DB than
~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
, or the source DB got wiped/recreated after the sync attempt (likely after you reinstalled screenpipe with the new Node).
Verify what's actually there now:
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/data/db.sqlite
".tables"
ls
-lh ~/.screenpipe/data/
Also confirm what the sync script points to — check the path inside
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
:
Copy to clipboard
bash
grep
-E
"(SOURCE|source.*db|sqlite)"
~/.screenpipe/scripts/screenpipe_sync.sh
|
head
And path-wise: your NAS session is in
/volume1/screenpipe
but my memory had
/volume1/Test/screenpipe
. Has it moved, or are there two?
Copy to clipboard
bash
# On NAS
ls
-lh /volume1/screenpipe/ /volume1/Test/screenpipe/
2
>
/dev/null
Once paths are sorted, the
important
thing: don't drop the NAS audio tables — they have 5908 chunks and 1883 transcriptions of real data. ALTER, don't drop.
The schema diff to add (assuming the source has all 11 columns the INSERT was generating — we need to confirm from the
actual
source DB once you've found it):
Copy to clipboard
sql
-- on NAS, after confirming source schema
ALTER
TABLE
audio_chunks
ADD
COLUMN
<
col_name
>
<
type
>
;
-- × however many are missing
But we can't write those
ALTER
statements until we see the real source schema. Find the right source DB first, then run
.schema audio_chunks
on it, paste both schemas, and I'll diff them and give you the exact ALTER statements for all five audio tables.

ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_attempts INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN last_transcription_attempt_at TIMESTAMP;
ALTER TABLE audio_chunks ADD COLUMN transcription_failure_reason TEXT;
SQL
That'll unblock today's audio sync. But the other audio tables almost certainly have the same drift —
audio_transcriptions
especially looks like it grew several columns (
start_time
,
end_time
,
text_length
,
redacted_at
, etc.), plus there are now whole new tables on source (
diarization_runs
,
diarization_segments
,
speaker_identity_evidence
,
meeting_transcript_segments
) that don't exist on the NAS at all.
Dump the rest of the NAS audio schemas so I can give you a full set of ALTERs in one go:
Copy to clipboard
bash
# Still on NAS
sqlite3 archive.db
<<
'SQL'
.schema audio_transcriptions
.schema speakers
.schema speaker_embeddings
.schema audio_tags
.schema diarization_runs
.schema diarization_segments
.schema speaker_identity_evidence
.schema meeting_transcript_segments
SQL
Paste the output and I'll diff all of them against the source.
Bigger picture — this is the second time schema drift has bitten you, and audio is going to keep evolving (diarization, speaker identification look new). Two things worth doing:
Make the sync script source-driven for table creation.
Pull
CREATE TABLE
statements from
sqlite_master
on the source DB at runtime and apply them with
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
on the NAS. Same for indexes and triggers. That way new tables (like the diarization ones) just appear on the NAS without manual ALTERs.
Add a schema-drift check before sync.
For each table being synced, compare
PRAGMA table_info()
on source vs NAS; if columns differ, fail loudly with the diff instead of producing the cryptic "X columns but Y values" SQLite error. Or auto-ALTER missing columns when the drift is a pure superset (source has new columns that NAS lacks), which is the common case for an evolving upstream schema.
The second one is the more interesting fix because it handles drift automatically as long as it's additive — which is overwhelmingly what app schemas do. Want me to draft the bash/sqlite logic for it?
