Unable to open the skype 8 leveldb

[pkt30]

I tried to open the skype 8 level db using the FastoNoSql v1.17.6 but each time I got the following error on the console

11:44:53.133: SCAN function error: Corruption: corrupted compressed block contents

I selected indexed_db as comparator and snappy as compression.

The skype 8 level db file is located at
C:\Users\machine-username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Skype for Desktop\IndexedDB\file__0.indexeddb.leveldb

I have the same error using latest version with and without compression.

1.17.4 seems to open and load contents, but produces following:

what else are we missing and why does latest version not work?

Hi @simplyQQ , it is hexed or unicode strings (binary data). We updated LevelDB from master but LevelDB sources have bug in current master branch, need to wait fixes, or use old versions,.

[simplyQQ]

I've tried different preview methods but neither seems to decode it. These do seem binary, but when viewing raw LDB file I can clearly see text data in it?

[topilski]

No, not readable for human.

[pkt30]

Earlier I was just able to open the db once, there I also got the similar encoded value. From the UI, there is some menu "get value" from which we could the value which is readable.
I do not know if this menu is available in all version.

It's value looks something

Hi @pkt30 , you can simple enter "get key" command in console. "get value" availible in all versions.

I think symbol: � is snappy compression lenght.

Hello guys, i updated FastoNoSQL version, and fixed LevelDB issue, please check.

[simplyQQ]

I would test it, but my trial has expired :(

[topilski]

@simplyQQ please send an email to [email protected] i will extend your trial

I can get some values readable by converting them to xHex.
But the data still isn't fully correct, seems a kind of reversed.

Edit: If the value is decoded as Sting as BigEndianUnicode the text is quite readable and not reversed any more!

[ffrappo]

Still doesn’t work. @jmvermeulen could you explain your process with more detail?
