Moving Metadata from older server (Mac Mini) to new Synology NAS

[mjgallo]

Server Version#: 1.29.2.6364-6d72b0cf6

I upgraded to a new Synology NAS unit running PMS from my older MacMini running PMS with a external drive. After moving all my movie files on to the Synology, I noticed all of the Metadata changes I had previously made, my edits, were gone; ie cover art, title name corrections, etc. Many of my films are mismatched and have incorrect metadata info. I have spent dozen of hours making the metadata changes the first time. I really don’t want to do it again since my library has grown to 1500 films. Is there a way of pulling the PLEX metadata file off my MacMini and pasting it on to my Synology NAS. I have looked for a PLEX “metadata” file within the MacMini and haven’t found anything obvious with finder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you follow the procedure and verify permissions were correct so the data could be imported from your MacOS installation?

Check it.
