Need help moving from QNAP TVS-871 to Windows.
Found:

A Guide to transfering plex DB from a QNAP to Windows

I’m planning on moving my Plex install off my QNAP soon (Don’t worry ole QNAPy still has some use!) to a windows install for more power. I looked at Plex’s “Guide” for transferring a server and at first test it didn’t move the metadata I was hoping to the new install of Plex. Any insight here from any users who may have experience in this? Maybe dane22?

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

In the first article, step 3 makes me clueless. I tried locating through QNAP’s file station and FTP. I can’t find the /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/Library/Plex media Server director to copy. (Yes, not Linux savy.)

Also, if someone could clarify what step 10. “Clean old bundles” means.

Thanks!!!

Use this, as well as follow the guide I answered in.

That worked well thanks! But… there’s no Library folder and can’t find one anywhere. I do see the preferences file. Maybe the folder structure changed since that link was written. Do I just need to copy the entire Plex Media Service folder?

[dane22]

The folder you are looking at, is the Library folder

Well, slap me and call me a n00b… Thanks!

It’s a Plex library command via the Plex Server Gui.
