At this point,

  1. Create a Plex shared folder
  2. Create sub-folders Library/Application Support
  3. Stop Plex
  4. Move PlexMediaServer/AppData/Plex Media Server → Plex/Library/Application Support (mimmick the DSM 6 structure)
  5. Uninstall + ERASE the DSM 7 application
  6. As detailed in the FAQ which follows:

  1. Give Full Control to “This Folder, sub-folders, and files” to “PlexMediaServer” for everything in the “Plex” shared folder. (This is important/required)

  2. Now install the App again.
    – It will sit at “Installing” while it imports the existing server data
    – Do not leave that page or refresh it (DSM will lose it)
    – Instead, in a new tab, open the Plex shared folder (File Station)
    – File “Migration.log” will appear and show you the progress.
    – When “Cleaning” is complete, the data will have been imported.
