Help with server migration to ubuntu and problem with posters

Hello Again.

Still nothing,

I’ve realized that i lost many posters from movies added months ago after the full update of the metadata.

Plex Media Server Logs_2020-01-12_15-10-30.zip (5.0 MB)

I’m finding several errors in the logs which need attention:

  1. Is this directory permission blocked? (ownership) If so, I recommend setting all the ownership again and restarting with sudo chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver

In Summary, It appears your transfer to Ubuntu was not at all successful.

  • Missing directories required for any crash reporting.
  • Missing metadata files / sub trees

How was this transfer performed ?

Is it normal?

I’think im gona make a clean install of ubuntu server + plex migration.

No. That’s not good. “Bad Message” is not supposed to be seen.

It should be a proper error message.
