Moving server location, windows 10 to windows 10, and have pre-mapped drives on the new location to match those of the old, so i should be able to avoid even having to update libraries for their point to folders.

But with one exception, Music. For reasons I won’t bore you, Music has to be on a new and different drive. Easy enough to update the libraries, but I can’t find anything on playlists. It is such an easy code task, find all exact instances of M: and replace with G: , that it has to be worth the effort compared to losing a huge amount of time building many playlists.

If anyone can tell me of the location/format or anything on Plex playlists, and/or editting them, i would be very grateful,

Thanks
