Hi all I’m looking for help on re-jiggering my PLEX server and while I’ve read the “Move Media Content to a New Location” support article, multiple posts on here, on reddit, articles I’ve found on Duck Duck Go, and videos I’ve watched on YouTube, I’m still a little unsure of how or if it’s possible…

The support articles are generic. There are better, but more host-specific, ways of doing things with guaranteed success. First order of business please. Detail where media is. It sounds like you have media files in Plex/Library ? (which is improper usage but can be addressed later) Detail …

@ChuckPa My folder structure is: A. /volume1/Plex/Library/Television/Show/Season/(episode files) B. /volume1/Plex/Library/Movies/(video files) C. /volume1/Plex/Library/WRC/Season/(videos files) I’d like to set things up as: A. [Existing NAS]/volume1/Plex/Library/Television/Show/Season/…

@xogrex Thank you for detailing. You are one of the fortunate ones. You did what the warning files told not to do but were able to make work anyway. Congratulations. (No media anywhere in the Plex shared folder) As you’re currently seeing, you have Media and Application in the same space. …

@trumpy81 Oh wow, I guess I took that to literally - I thought you just weren’t supposed to put anything in THAT folder but that the media files went inside the library folder. @ChuckPa I have had an issue recently with PLEX trying to generate thumbnails on a file and it appeared stuck in a loop …

When you get the NAS, I recommend grabbing this new packaging. You’ll be on the right footing from the start.

I’m too soft ? :cry: Moving forward, as fair warning to anyone who might read this in the future too, I won’t help anyone who puts media in the AppData folder. I named it AppData because most should know what it means. I also placed warning files everywhere in there. If that’s not good enou…

If I want to move media from one folder to another i have found this method works, and works well, it retains played stats, etc. Have the new location setup and ensure that your users do not access the library that is being serviced during this maintenance to avoid any potential playback issues. …

@ChuckPa @trumpy81 OK folks, I’m ready for the next step. The new NAS is set up and running DSM 7 (it’s pretty snazzy). I’ve copied my movies and WRC folder over to the new NAS in a shared folder named “Movies and Rallies” with sub-folders labeled “Movies” and “WRC” (go figure). The files are also …

@trumpy81 Well I must have borked something. Not only did things not move my entire movie library disappeared (just the library, not the files). Given all that, I’m just going start from scratch and want to point PMS to the NAS I’m going to host the movies on. That being said I’m now having anothe…

Hey @trumpy81 No worries on the forward slash & back slash thing. In the end it looks like I’m going to have to start from scratch anyway (like I said I’ve already done something to screw up the movies and I need to move the TV shows out of the library folder anyway). I’ll look at it as a learning …
