No idea why this isn’t working. The procedure listed on that website is missing a few steps and clear info, but I’m fairly tech savvy and was able to reach the finish line. One thing I noticed was that, even if I changed the permission of the Preferences.xml file in File Station, I still didn’t have permission to save it using Synology’s built-in text editor. So I copied the xml file to a local drive on my Mac, and then edited it with TextEdit (in plain text mode) and was able to save it that way. Then I copied it back over to the location mentioned on that website.
I even read this thread:
But letting Plex create the Preferences.xml also did not work.
…but I get no soup. Any ideas?
Does anyone know how to properly migrate the PMS from Mac to Synology that actually works? Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: If I turn on PMS back on the Mac, it all works fine. Stop it on the Mac, run it on the NAS, No Soup For You… There’s got to be something, some step or something, missing from this procedure. It doesn’t even see the Plex Server running when I run it on the NAS. I don’t get it.
Indirectly, maybe… I’m going to try again here soon, starting over, just in case I made a mistake somewhere.
Reasoning: The thing I noticed that seemed odd was when I installed the PMS on my NAS and signed in, when I disabled emptying the trash, etc, and I went back to my Mac PMS, those settings updated there as well. So, I may have skipped a step somewhere. I’ll report back after I’ve tried. (I seem to be making weird little mistakes these days… WTF is happening to me…haha)
SOLVED! I was using a Dynamic DNS to access my NAS, even locally. And when setting up the PMS server for the first time, you cannot do this. You have to log in to your NAS using the actual LAN IP/port while you set it up.
That’s the only thing that I was doing wrong. Everything else is good so far.
