I bungled my DSM7 migration. How do I get my metadata back?

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Pretty simple, albeit a lot of clicking, task to recover.

  1. VERIFY all your metadata still exists in the “Plex” shared folder.

  2. If this is correct,

  3. Uninstall the DSM 7 Plex package – select the ERASE option (to remove the empty DSM 7 server instance)

  4. Download the package from Plex.tv/downloads if you haven’t already. Do not use the Synology Package Center version.

  5. Reinstall the package again and observe as it starts giving you instructions (where needed) to perform the migration -or- sits at ‘Installing’ for an extended period while it actually performs the migration.
