I am not trying to insult the code. I’m just saying that I wasn’t aware there was a process to migrating PSM from Synology DSM 6 to 7. Had I known that, I’m sure my experience would have been much more smooth.
I just upgraded DSM, then discovered that I had to re-install Plex and add some new permissions. Then when I went to upgrade the PSM, it installed but didn’t run – at least at first. I’m not sure what I did because I didn’t document it, but I did get it running. But then I had to rebuild all my libraries from scratch. Then I noticed that Live TV and DVR stopped working (documented here: Error loading channels - #4 by SomebodySysop ), and eventually figured out it was because of a corrupted database that probably was damaged during this process. That took a few tries, but finally got it resolved.
All that said, had I come to this forum first and read the documentation on migration, I’m sure I would have saved myself a lot of headache. I just assumed the DSM upgrade would be turnkey for all the installed apps. Ooops.
So this is why I was a little nervous about trying to upgrade PSM again, and the reason for this post topic.
And if, in my frustration, I seemed to impugn the integrity of your work, I do really apologize. This “horror” story was entirely my own doing. It was just a tongue-in-cheek response to the earlier post about “horror stories”.
