Restaure old plex server

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
41

i update my dsm to 7.2.2 and i needed update plex with this file https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.43.0.10162-b67a664b6/synology-dsm72/PlexMediaServer-1.43.0.10162-b67a664b6-x86_64_DSM72.spk instead of this one https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.42.2.10156-f737b826c/synology-dsm72/PlexMediaServer-1.42.2.10156-f737b826c-x86_64_DSM72.spk because my plex was updated to 1.43.

1.43 is a beta version no? how can i avoid beta version?

i use this script to auto-check/update my plex server (for dsm7 so not sure he’s good again for 7.2.2 or 7.3 of dsm):

Don’t use that script to update Plex.

Updating DSM does not require you to run beta versions of PMS.

If you wish to run the public version, uninstall the beta version, then install the public version.

ok thanks

44

i started to replace broken files and added back missing files but plex still saying files are missing or broken even if all is good and if he arrive to read them. i tried scan and analyse but that change nothing.
any idea ?

45

You are replacing media files, correct?

  1. Scan the library to pick up the new files.
  2. Empty the trash to remove the old entries. The red trash can should go away.
  3. When finished replacing files, clean bundles and optimize the database (settings → troubleshooting).
46

i can’t clean trash because i don’t replaced all yet, so if i do it i’ll lost the red recycle bin when needed to know what is missing

47

Maybe use the Export module of WebTools NG to get a list of missing/all files in that library.
Should be faster to sort and search in a spreadsheet app than in plex for this kind of task.

48

plugins still works on plex? i thought they were broken since many years

49

Webtools NG is not a plugin.

ok thanks, i’ll check it
