Plex Media Server - Synology DSM 7 Preview - Issues ( Archive )

[ChuckPa]

@cortig

You are correct; /volume*/Plex no longer contains anything about Plex Media Server

@ChuckPa

Summary of Changes

1. The Plex Media Server package name is now PlexMediaServer
2. The user we run as is now is an internal system user called PlexMediaServer
3. For each share that you wish Plex Media Server to access, you need to go and set read/write permissions for the PlexMediaServer system internal user.
4. We have new install and uninstall options to assist with access to logs as well as starting over if required.
5. We no longer store app data in the Plex share (more info below)
6. If you had a previous Plex share we will guide you through the process of migration.
7. Packages are only signed when installed from Synology’s servers.

Item 5 above.

The Plex share is now free for you to do as you wish.

Did all your existing server migrate?

If so, The only additional work for you to do now is, instead of granting user Plex permission to read your media, you grant permission for System Internal User “PlexMediaServer” to read that media.
