Plex Media Server installed on the same volume as the Plex share

Hi @ChuckPa

A quick shout out for putting the DSM 6-7 and PlexMediaServer upgrade Q&A together. Without this I would never have figured out how to get through it.

Today I upgraded DSM to version 7.1-42661 Update 4 and then installed PlexMediaServer-1.28.1.6041-738907df3-x86_64_DSM7 which completed with the following splash screen

I modified the directory privileges as directed, uninstalled and re-installed PlexMediaServer-1.28.1.6041-738907df3-x86_64_DSM7 and everything looked good.

I had one problem with my library content not showing up so deleted them under Manage Library options and re-added them. Now they have all re-indexed everything seems to be in place which is great!

One question I have (and I could not find the answer to) is can I now delete the old diskstation Plex share?

Is there any more tidying up I should be doing?

Thanks again, Peter

Plex Media Server on DSM 7.x no longer uses the plex shared folder or the plex userid. They can be deleted or used for other purposes.
