Plex Media Server

Hi,

How to access Preferences.xml on ubuntu.

From https://support.plex.tv/articles/202915258-where-is-the-plex-media-server-data-directory-located/

Linux and Other Devices

General

In general, the location for the various Linux versions of Plex Media Server will be found under:

$PLEX_HOME/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/

For a default Ubuntu setup $PLEX_HOME is

/var/lib/plexmediaserver/

So the full path is:

/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml

Thanks for replaying back. i have tried that but I’m getting this

bash: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application: Permission denied

You’ll need to escape the spaces in that path or put it in quotes to get there, e.g.

cd "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/"

or

cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/

The folders belong to the service account plex but should be readable by all users of the system – so I don’t think this is an actual permission problem. If it gives you trouble you should still be able to access it with sufficient privileges (e.g. using an admin account of yours).
