Version is Version 4.29.2
I’m trying to move my plex installation folder because the meta data has gotten out of hand. And I can’t get it working properly
I stop the plex service.
I move the Plex Media Sever folder
cp -rf ‘/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support’ /media/name/DriveName/Library
I remove original Application Support folder
I edit
sudo nano /etc/default/plexmediaserver
Specifically I uncomment and edit the line
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/media/name/drivename/Library
I’ve taken ownership of /media/name/drivename/Library/Appication Support using chown. Which took a fair old time.
I restart the service and it appears to start ok. But none of my libraries appear.
Looking at it, something is up with amendment I’m making to Application Support. If I rename the original Application Support folder and start the service, a brand new Application Support folder is created.
Is there anything obvious I’m doing wrong there?
