Moving Plex settings (watch lists etc) from a windows device to a Qnap TS-X53E Nas

[dane22]

Here’s the steps:

• On Windows, make sure the setting Empty trash automatically after every scan is NOT selected
  

  

• Shut down Windows PMS

• Create a share on QNAP named PlexData and set the path to automatically

• Install PMS on QNAP

• Claim PMS on QNAP

• In QNAP AppCenter, shut down PMS

• Copy over everything from your windows Plex Media Server directory to the QNAP share, and override everything…

• Then you must edit every library, and add the folder path to where your movies, shows etc are located…NOTE:

  • Do NOT use QNAP’s Multimedia share for that!
    • Ref: Qnap faq.....read me first!
  • Do NOT remove the Windows Path

• Rescan every library

• Edit each library, and remove the Windows Path

• Do an Empty Trash

• Share new PMS to friends
