PMS (Software) is always on CACHEDEV1_DATA when installed manually.
We only need move your library to link in.
you therefore want to link CACHEDEV1_DATA (Library) -> CACHEDEV5_DATA (Library)
cd /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/PlexMediaServer
# Remove this Library on CACHEDEV1_DATA (it is unused)
rm -rf ./Library
# Create Symbolic link out to metadata Library which is active (notice dot at end)
ln -s /share/CACHEDEV5_DATA/PlexMediaServer/Library .
# verify correct placement and name
ls -la | grep Library
# observe symbolic link Library/ -> /share/CACHEDEV5_DATA/PledMediaServer/Library
The ābetaā is in forum preview at this point. Just as we think everything is set, one of the NASās gets an update which needs correcting. It is apparently āUpdate Timeā for the vendors.
The gui mechanisms are already in place in App Center.
The configuration changes which allow PMS to be migrated by the gui are in those packages which are available in the Forum beta thread. ( Dane22 and I authored those changes )
The current plex.tv/downloads packages donāt include those changesā¦ They will be available in the new packaging. Sorry for that but we had to switch development over at some point. Developing in two build systems is super error prone.
Qnap allows the migrate ( I have tried a few with no luck e.g. Emby i loaded on an SSD and it didnāt work so āmigratedā back to CACHEDEV1 and still would not open - reinstalled using defaults and ok na! )
There are flags and variables I needed to redefine in the configuration file used by QDK (The QNAP Development Kit) which creates the .qpkg file.
If you were to download one of the alpha test files and install it on an ARMv8 machine, you would have migration. I enabled it there to verify there were no issues. Those changes were carried forward into the new forum beta.
If you install PMS 1.14.0.391 from the new beta, you see this in App Center.
When the new packaging, with updated QDK, is released, you will have that option.
Your only choice at this moment is to symlink it. Should you do so, be very careful later when you do migrate. QDK does not take symlinks into consideration.
All the packaging work Iāve done is ready.
Weāre waiting for a problem with the Annapurna ARMv8 binaries to resolve (it does memory alignment differently than the RealTek ARMv8). We did figure it out and now are testing against ALL the NAS boxes.
