I have two problems, no doubt at least partially self inflicted.
I bought a new mini-PC to use as a server, and just set it up as a Windows11 running system with a couple basic apps and then installed Plex. My bad, I did not do any research on how to change servers before I started down this path, so I just connected the 2 external drives to the system, opened Plex, went to Add Library and added them. One drive contains all movies, the other half movies half TV shows.
First problem, because of a misunderstanding on my part about how to add them (and I forgot since the last time I did this) I added the two movie drives as libraries, so now I show 3 libraries - Movie, Movie and TV Shows. Is there any was to easily combine those two movie locations (D: and E:/Movies) into a single library, Movies ? This is the way it was previously.
Second (or maybe should be first), after some reading and finding the article on how to switch server computers, I now see I should not have done the above exactly like that or when. I believe the instructions describe a process of copying over a number of Plex files from the old computer first, and then “connecting” and adding the libraries locations. However, this ran for several days before I discovered it and seems like it kind got itself installed ok. Without a very detailed audit I don’t know how I could tell if all was ok.
So, any suggestions on what to do at this point? Just leave the new install alone and hope it all gets sorted by itself? Or should I go ahead at this point and follow all the steps in the article and copy the files over. It’s from this article Move an Install to Another System | Plex Support.
And re the first question, how to combine those two now.
Thx for any help, sorry for the noob questions.
