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
video_chunks

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

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).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)

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)...

You're migrating Screenpipe data from Mac to NAS. The workflow:

screenpipe_fts_migrate.sh
- One-time database schema migration:
Adds

Creates

Rebuilds FTS (full-text search) tables with new schema
Optional but recommended
- running this on the NAS is 5-10x faster than letting

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
video_chunks
table already has
install_id
but contains duplicate
(install_id, id)
combinations, violating the unique constraint the script is trying to create.
Let me check the database state to diagnose:

The error occurs because the

data with duplicate

This likely happened from a previous sync or partial migration. Let me check the database to see the duplicate data:

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

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).

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

archive.db.bak-pre-installid
- 12.9 GB (pre-migration backup)
db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)

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?

# 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).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:

Check the actual schema of your

sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text

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?

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)

The

frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an

column when creating the unique index.
The fix is in
screenpipe_sync.sh
around line 363-370. The loop needs to check if the table has an

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).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:

The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an

id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text

The

column - its primary key is
frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an
id
column when creating the unique index.
The fix is in
screenpipe_sync.sh
around line 363-370. The loop needs to check if the table has an
id
column before creating the index:

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

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?

# 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

The

frame_id
. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an

The fix is in

The same fix applies to

at line 106. Both scripts have the same bug.
You'll need to switch to Code mode to apply these changes.

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

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?

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).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:

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)

db.sqlite
- 3.7 GB (appears to be source DB already copied?)
data/

logs/
- contains sync logs

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?

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

/volume1/screenpipe/archive.db
"SELECT DISTINCT install_id FROM video_chunks LIMIT 10;"
# Find the duplicate (install_id, id) combinations

# 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).

The

. The script incorrectly assumes all tables have an

The fix is in

id

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

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?

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).

The error occurs because the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column, but the script tries to create a unique index on
(install_id, id)
. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column, but
ocr_text
likely has a different primary key structure.
Let me check the ocr_text table schema in your source database:
Searched
ocr_text in /volume1/screenpipe (*.sh)
Thought
for 2s
The error occurs because the script tries to create a unique index on
ocr_text(install_id, id)
, but the
ocr_text
table doesn't have an
id
column. The script assumes all tables have an
id
column as their primary key, but
ocr_text
likely has a different structure.
Check the actual schema of your
ocr_text
table:
bash
sqlite3
~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite
"PRAGMA table_info(ocr_text);"
This will show what columns exist. Based on the script's usage,
ocr_text
likely uses
frame_id
as a foreign key and may not have its own
id
primary key (it might use SQLite's implicit
rowid
).
The fix would be to modify the script to handle tables without an
id
column. Options:
Skip the unique index for tables without
id
and use a different constraint
Use
rowid
instead of
id
for tables that don't have an explicit
id
column
What does the schema show for
ocr_text
?

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?

why is there erro like that?

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

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).

ok lets forget on install id for a while. Given the
@
screenpipe_sync.sh
why do I get error like this when ruynning the same scritp from nas. lukas@Lukas-Kovaliks-MacBook-Pro-Jiminny ~/.screenpipe $ ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe_sync.sh 2026-05-11
