Plex library folder search does not work (dsm6 -> 7.2.2)

You should never change permissions for the PlexMediaServer shared folder.

Please follow FAQ 32: Repairing the PlexMediaServer shared folder to restore permissions to their correct settings.

Do you still have the /Plex shared folder?

If yes, are the database file still present in /Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases?

If yes to both, then the migration from DSM 6 to DSM 7 did not complete.
