Amarok startup error

Yesterday I updated my system since then I'm getting the following error from amarok on startup.

The amarok database reported the following errors:
GREPME MySQLe query failed! (2000) mysql_embedded: Shutdown complete
 on init
In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323802 here I've found a similar issue and it states the following

This was because we were passing --myisam-recover-options and this options does not exist in MySQL 5.1 (and MariaDB). The *command-line* option (as opposed to system variable name) to set recovery mode is tricky: 
MySQL <= 5.1: --myisam-recover [1] 
MySQL >= 5.5: --myisam-recover-options, should also accept --myisam-recover [2] 
MariaDB: --myisam-recover [3] 
*However*, the *system variable name* has always been named myisam_recover_options, that's why it worked in Amarok <= 2.8.
