Have been running PLEX on a Server 2016, now I've started to run plex on my synology NAS,

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Server Version#:1.25.5.5492
DSM Version#: 7.0.1-42218U 2

<y question is can I move the plex data base from the windows 2016 to the Synology DS1520+. So it that it will use the history of Movies and TV shows that I watch without starting with everything unwatched?

But the does not answer the question, can I move the plex database from a windows base machine to the Synology NAS?
I already have plex up and running on the NAS, but every item in my library show as never been watched.

If you follow the procedure as written, all your watch history will be preserved.

The key points in the procedure are:

  1. Turn off all Library settings before shutting down Plex and making the ZIP file
  2. Unzip into the “Plex” shared folder on DSM 7 for pending import
  3. Set the permissions
  4. Uninstall + Erase any DSM 7 Plex app installed (if you want the imported version used)
  5. Install and let it ‘migrate’ (import) the contents of Plex share
  6. After install complete, ADD the new locations to each section and let Plex scan (this is what preserves the watch status)
  7. AFTER scanning complete – REMOVE the old locations
  8. Empty Trash & Clean bundles
  9. REPEAT for the next library section until done.
