Do you feel like “Riding the wild software” ? 
We can stop what’s happening and, worst case, get you moved over to the new structure.
If you do this, you WILL BE STUCK on this PMS version until we get more updates because it’s the first “Forum Preview” for anyone to use.
The other choice we have, if you wish, you and i make arrangements for me to perform a manual migration of your data.
later, when more predictable, you can move to the new structure
@ChuckPa
Yep I feel like that 
Does this Forum Preview PMS version has some sort of limitations that I should be aware of ? If I don’t lose too much of usability nor features I don’t mind give it a try and be slow on updates.
What I’m wondering too is if further DSM7 updates could break this PMS version again forcing the necessity of the migration process once for all.
Worst case if I need to move to the new structure, will I pick it were I left off or I start from the beginning ? Here where I am right now :
Plex Media Server migration to DSM 7 started: Mon Jul 12 13:42:54 EDT 2021
=== Mon Jul 12 13:42:54 EDT 2021 === Start: Change ownership
=== Sat Jul 17 03:58:10 EDT 2021 === Completed: Change ownership
=== Sat Jul 17 03:58:10 EDT 2021 === Start: Convert symbolic links

=== Sat Jul 17 04:25:36 EDT 2021 === Start: Migrate Plex Media Server
@ChuckPa
To complement my post, I use intensively the Plex server to watch my media on an Android TV that has the Plex app installed on it so that ability MUST remain with the Forum Preview PMS version we are discussing of.

I think something failed.
Let me show you why.
# Step 5 - Migrate
echo "=== $(date) === Start: Migrate Plex Media Server" >>$MigrationLog
mv "$ExistingPath" "$SYNOPKG_PKGHOME"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
MessageText "M-Migration-System-Error" "$ExistingPath" "$?" "$MigrationLog"
exit 150
fi
MessageText "M-Migration-Successful" "$ExistingShare"
This is very precarious.
I can reassemble it for you but it may run for quite some time.
How much data did you say you have ? 433 GB?
I helped user Parity migrate 480 GB in a few hours .

我尝试在DSM7.0-41890上全新安装Plex Media Server但是遇到了问题，目前使用的Plex版本为1.23.5.4862-7000.在我全新安装完成后并给予vedio文件夹权限后打开plex依旧提示“未经授权，您没有权限访问此服务器”

I tried to newly install plex media server on dsm7.0-41890, but I encountered a problem. Currently, I use plex version 1.23.5.4862-7000. After I complete the new installation and give the vedio folder permission, open plex and still prompt “unauthorized, you do not have permission to access this server”

感谢回复，我目前按照您提供的方法进行了尝试，但是很遗憾问题依旧，我目前使用的主机是DS920+，这次我指定了日志文件的路径。下属附件供您分析。

Thank you for your reply. I have tried according to the method you provided, but unfortunately the problem remains. My current host is ds920 +, and this time I specified the path of the log file. Subordinate attachments for your analysis
If you’ve been waiting for a solution to the storage structure problem,
you’re welcome to come over to the Forum Preview thread.
This invitation is ONLY for those with an otherwise STABLE DSM 7 PMS installation.
… is now ready. 
and 
at the ready 
Is this something that those of us on 6.2 can do to make the 7.0 transition simpler… even effortless.
IOW, can the present PMS for 6.2 be updated to facilitate a seamless transition to 7.0?
When this is released as the normal distribution package,
upgrading from DSM 6 to DSM 7 will still require you set the permissions in the Plex shared folder for it to “migrate”.
Once it starts that process, the package will do the rest.
Everyone testing here has already upgraded from 6 → 7.
What’s happening now is relocating (undoing) the awkwardness from what was initially done to this configuration which is a lot more what everyone wants & needs.
When you upgrade, your metadata will move from the Plex shared folder → PlexMediaServer shared folder in one step.
Hi All,
I sincerely apogolise if I have posted the wrong area. Please let me know if i did and direct me to the correct location.
I have followed the instruction for DSM 7 Plex installation, but when i access to my server, it is showing me a message “Not authorized, You do not have access to this server”.
I have given access to “PlexMediaServer” in the system internal user with Customised full control.
Any idea what i’ve done wrong? Logs attached.

Thank you very much! it is working now 
Hi, I’m running plex version 1.23.6.4881-7000 on Synology 1019+ with DSM 7.0-41890. I’ve installed plex, claimed server restarted my synology device multiple times. Everytime i start plex, it just stops by itself after a few seconds. I can’t get it to keep running

Need some help. Plex Beta is not letting me change the Volume from the default - Volume 1. Keeps kicking the installation out because it is detecting my Plex Share on Volume 2, but doesn’t let me select volume 2. Any idea on how to fix this issue?
Open Package Center → Settings.
Check the default volume setting. It is probably (often by accident because I’ve done it too) set to Volume 1. Change to “Ask me” and save.
What’s happening to you right now:
The destination volume, where it will be installed (volume1), isn’t the same as where your existing PMS install (volume 2) is.
In order to keep existing PMS data, it all must be on the same volume. (( Theoretically it could be made to allow it but for most users that would mean 14-16 days to complete installation – which has been seen already in a few cases of 500 GB metadata libraries)).
The PMS which you downloaded from plex.tv/downloads does not have the capability of understanding multiple-volume installations – and – be visible for making backups.
After DSM 7.0-41890 stabilized and became final, I was able to figure out a way to:
a. Make the metadata visible again
b. Allow you to move the new shared folder “PlexMediaServer” wherever you want.
My recommendation:
If you’re interested, here are the links. Please feel free to ask any & all questions.
Hi, I updated my DS218+ to DSM 7.0-41890, next i unistalled PSM deleting ALL files, deleted the Plex shared folder and user Plex and finally installed PSM 1.23.6.4881-7000 manually. I added to one shard folder the authorization to write/read to PlexMediaServer. Now when i access my server myip:32400/web/ it seems it cannot see the server and cannot create any library, it says to istall a PSM but I have it already! It’s very confusing.
I think that switch did the trick. I greatly appreciate the help!
Care to jump to the new packaging? I think you’ll like it. It more closely resembles the old DSM 6 structures but lives within the constraints of DSM 7.
