Ok, the long and short of it is I have an existing plexserver v1.23 on an old ubuntu system. I just build a new rack truenas box and isntalled plexserver 1.29.
The question is, can I import the database from 1.23 to 1.29 even tho it appears the format of stored dates has changed in newer version?
The issue is, I sort by “date last added”, and I am migrating all of the files from multiple smaller storage devices to a large truenas pool, the newest version of plex is now sorting everything by the new date added.
I was able to rip tables for “viewed” and “unviewed” data and got that working correctly, but I’d like the original date added to be pulled into the new server. What I noticed in viewing the databases is that the newest version is using Unix time for date/time fields as opposed to the old database using standard date/time formats.
Can I simply move all of the files, then copy the database files from the old server to the new even tho the version disparity is pretty large?
Thanks in advance!
