I have searched damn near the whole internet for this one solution. I want to move my Plex server meta-data, in the local app data directory, to a new directory (My 2nd SSD).
DO NOT SEND THE FOLLOWING TUTS;
~ Talking about installing it on a new system
~ Talking about editing the registry
~ Talking about going into the web ui, and
changing the directory in, “General”, settings.
Please don’t comment these useless TUTs. I’ve been threw a countless amount of youtube videos, forum posts, and websites claiming they have the answer. They’re all outdated from
years ago, and do NOT apply to now. I don’t even have a meta-data .reg file.
I just want a straight answer, that I can do right now, to solve my issue
1 - shut down pms
2 - open registry and find the key “LocalAppDataPath”. If it’s not there, you’ll need to create it. Set the value to the new location where “Plex Media Server” will sit.
3 - Move the appdata folder starting at “Plex Media Folder” to match the path in Step 2.
4 - restart PMS
Not sure what you mean by a .reg file. You don’t need that. Just open “RegEdit” and find the Plex entries. A .reg file is used to import/edit a registry. You could make the change that way, but that’s not the typical method.
