Preferences.xml is empty

Something weird definitely … I’ve not seen that behavior in a LONG time (0.9 stuff)

I’d like to make your system and you safer. I’d like to suggest removing the symlink.

You can customize PMS using systemd.

  1. Create the override which defines
Environment="PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/Path/even with/spaces/Application Support"

(the "var=value" is treated as a single item when passed so it works perfectly for the export to the environment)

  1. Save the override.conf
  2. systemctl daemon-reload
  3. systemctl restart plexmediaserver
