The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

get familiar with the project. The idea is to copy the data from mac to nas (here). I am tryign to update the database using
@
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
and then run
@
screenpipe_sync.sh
for a day to move the data. Review and see is you understand everything.

I'll read the two scripts and explore the project structure to understand the data migration setup.

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12
Current NAS State
Current NAS State
archive.db
- 12.9 GB (main archive)
archive.db-bak
- 11.1 GB (backup)
archive.db.bak-pre-installid
- 12.9 GB (pre-migration backup)
db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)
data/
- empty (will hold frame data by date)
logs/
- contains sync logs
Your Plan
Your Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

The

lib/lib/

the lib modules define their own
SCRIPT_DIR
variable, which overwrites
the one from the main script. When
screenpipe_sync_db.sh
or
screenpipe_sync_files.sh
sources
screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
, they use their own directory (
already inside
lib
), causing the path to be doubled
.
Fix: Use
unique variable names in lib
modules to avoid conflicts:

Fixed. The
issue was that the
lib modules were over
writing the main script's
SCRIPT_DIR
variable. I renamed it
to
LIB_DIR
in both
screenpipe_sync_db.sh
and
screenpipe_sync_files.sh
to avoid conflicts.
Try running
the script again:
bash

The error shows the
source command is failing and the script is
trying to execute function definitions as commands. Check
if the helpers file was copied correctly to
your Mac:
bash
cat
~/.screenpipe/scripts/lib/screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
The error shows
screenpipe_sync_helpers.s
(missing 'h'), which
suggests a file corruption or incomplete copy. Verify
all three lib files were
copied intact:
bash
ls
-la
~/.screenpipe/scripts/lib/
If the
helpers file is corrupted or empty
, copy it again from the NAS.

Done. Audio
files will now be copied to
$NAS_DATA/{date}/audio/
instead of
$NAS_DATA/audio/
. This keeps audio files organized by date alongside the frame
data.

Yes
, it will work as long as you
keep the relative structure intact. The script uses:
bash
SCRIPT_DIR
=
"$(
cd
"$(
dirname
"${
BASH_SOURCE
[0]}")" &&
pwd
)"
source
"
$SCRIPT_DIR
/lib/screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh"
This dynamically
finds the directory of
the script being executed, so moving both
screenpipe_sync.sh
and
lib
into a
scripts/
folder will
work fine.
Structure that will work:
scripts/
├── screenpipe_sync.sh
└── lib/
├── screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
├── screenpipe_sync_db.sh
└── screenpipe_sync_files.sh
Just
copy the entire
scripts/
folder (with
screenpipe_sync.sh
and
lib
inside it) to your Mac
.

The
error shows
lib/lib/
doubled in the path. The issue is that
the lib modules define their own
SCRIPT_DIR
variable, which overwrites
the one from the main script. When
screenpipe_sync_db.sh
or
screenpipe_sync_files.sh
sources
screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
, they use their own directory (
already inside
lib
), causing the path to be doubled
.
Fix: Use
unique variable names in lib
modules to avoid conflicts:
screenpipe_sync_db.sh

Fixed. The
issue was that the
lib modules were over
writing the main script's
SCRIPT_DIR
variable. I renamed it
to
LIB_DIR
in both
screenpipe_sync_db.sh
and
screenpipe_sync_files.sh
to avoid conflicts.
Try running
the script again:
bash
~

The error shows the
source command is failing and the script is
trying to execute function definitions as commands. Check
if the helpers file was copied correctly to
your Mac:
bash
cat
~/.screenpipe/scripts/lib/screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
The error shows
screenpipe_sync_helpers.s
(missing 'h'), which
suggests a file corruption or incomplete copy. Verify
all three lib files were
copied intact:
bash
ls
-la
~/.screenpipe/scripts/lib/
If the
helpers file is corrupted or empty
, copy it again from the NAS.

The

The error shows the
source command is failing and the script is
trying to execute function definitions as commands. Check
if the helpers file was copied correctly to
your Mac:
bash
cat
~/.screenpipe/scripts/lib/screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
The error shows
screenpipe_sync_helpers.s
(missing 'h'), which
suggests a file corruption or incomplete copy. Verify
all three lib files were
copied intact:

Done. Audio
files will now be copied to
$NAS_DATA/{date}/audio/
instead of
$NAS_DATA/audio/
. This keeps audio files organized by date alongside the frame
data.

will that all work if I move
@
screenpipe_sync.sh
and lib folder inside scripts folder?
Expand content to scroll
Thought
for 2s
Yes
, it will work as long as you
keep the relative structure intact. The script uses:
bash
SCRIPT_DIR
=
"$(
cd
"$(
dirname
"${
BASH_SOURCE
[0]}")" &&
pwd
)"
source
"
$SCRIPT_DIR
/lib/screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh"
This dynamically
finds the directory of
the script being executed, so moving both
screenpipe_sync.sh
and
lib
into a
scripts/
folder will
work fine.
Structure that will work:
scripts/
├── screenpipe_sync.sh
└── lib/
├── screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
├── screenpipe_sync_db.sh
└── screenpipe_sync_files.sh
Just
copy the entire
scripts/
folder (with
screenpipe_sync.sh
and
lib
inside it) to your Mac
.

The
error shows
lib/lib/
doubled in the path. The issue is that
the lib modules define their own
SCRIPT_DIR
variable, which overwrites
the one from the main script. When
screenpipe_sync_db.sh
or
screenpipe_sync_files.sh
sources
screenpipe_sync_helpers.sh
, they use their own directory (
already inside
lib
), causing the path to be doubled
.
Fix: Use
unique variable names in lib
modules to avoid conflicts:

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run

daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:...

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12
Current NAS State
Current NAS State
archive.db
- 12.9 GB (main archive)
archive.db-bak
- 11.1 GB (backup)
archive.db.bak-pre-installid
- 12.9 GB (pre-migration backup)
db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)
data/
- empty (will hold frame data by date)
logs/
- contains sync logs
Your Plan
Your Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

The error occurs because the

install_id

The error occurs because the

table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:

The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:...

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id...

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12
Current NAS State
Current NAS State
archive.db
- 12.9 GB (main archive)
archive.db-bak
- 11.1 GB (backup)
archive.db.bak-pre-installid
- 12.9 GB (pre-migration backup)
db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)
data/
- empty (will hold frame data by date)
logs/
- contains sync logs
Your Plan
Your Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12

The error occurs because the

table already has
install_id
but contains duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations, violating the unique constraint the script is trying to create.

The error occurs because the

This likely happened from a previous sync that added data without proper deduplication. Let me check the database to identify the duplicates:

The error occurs because the
video_chunks
table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE...

I understand the setup. Here's my analysis:
Project Overview
Project Overview
You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:
1.
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds
install_id
column to all synced tables (prevents ID collisions across reinstalls)
Creates
_installs
registry table
Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting
screenpipe_sync.sh
do it inline
Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2.
screenpipe_sync.sh
- Daily sync script:
Copies SQLite data from Mac (
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
) to NAS (
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
)
Syncs vision tables (frames, elements, OCR, UI events) and audio tables (chunks, transcriptions, speakers)
Copies frame data files and audio MP4s via rsync
Uses
install_id
(UUID) to handle multiple screenpipe installations safely
Schema-drift tolerant (auto-adds new columns)
Run per date:
./screenpipe_sync.sh
(yesterday) or
./screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-12
Current NAS State
Current NAS State
archive.db
- 12.9 GB (main archive)
archive.db-bak
- 11.1 GB (backup)
archive.db.bak-pre-installid
- 12.9 GB (pre-migration backup)
db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)
data/
- empty (will hold frame data by date)
logs/
- contains sync logs
Your Plan
Your Plan
Run
screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
first to update the schema quickly on the NAS, then run
screenpipe_sync.sh
daily to incrementally move data from Mac to NAS. This makes sense - the migration is the heavy operation, then daily syncs are lightweight.
Does this match your understanding, or do you have questions about any part?

The error occurs because the

install_id

combinations, violating the unique constraint the script is trying to create.

The error occurs because the

table already has
install_id
data with duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations. When the script tries to create a unique index on these columns, SQLite rejects it due to existing duplicates.
This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. To diagnose, you need to check the database:
bash
# Check what install_id values exist in video_chunks
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT install_id, id, COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks GROUP BY install_id, id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 10;"
# Check total rows vs unique (install_id, id) combinations
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) as total, COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) as unique_combos FROM video_chunks;"
The fix depends on what you find:
If duplicates have the same actual data
: Delete the duplicates keeping one row per
(install_id, id)
If duplicates are from different syncs with different data
: You may need to use
INSERT OR REPLACE
logic or consolidate the data
The migration script assumes clean data where
(install_id, id)
is unique. Your database has pre-existing install_id data that violates this assumption.

The issue is clear now:
video_chunks
has 4009 rows but only 2607 unique
(install_id, id)
combinations. Each ID appears 2-4 times, which violates the unique constraint.
This likely happened from multiple sync runs without proper deduplication. To fix this, you need to remove the duplicate rows before the migration can proceed:
bash
# Delete duplicates, keeping the first occurrence for each (install_id, id)
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"
DELETE FROM video_chunks
WHERE rowid NOT IN (
SELECT MIN(rowid)
FROM video_chunks
GROUP BY install_id, id
);
"
# Verify cleanup
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM video_chunks;"
sqlite3
/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT install_id || '|' || id) FROM video_chunks;"
After this, both counts should match (2607), and you can re-run the migration script:
bash
/volume1/screenpipe/screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
You may need to repeat this for other tables if they have the same issue. The migration script processes tables in order:
video_chunks frames elements ocr_text ui_events meetings
(vision) then
speakers speaker_embeddings audio_chunks audio_transcriptions audio_tags
(audio).
