I’ve been working with an issue around storage management on iOS. I’m fairly sure that sync loses files(tv shows) which have been synced and they are allocated into space but can’t be seen, synced or deleted thus space is lost until plex is removed from iPad completely. Here the screenshot of my s…

Folks, Latest update of PMS server have caused a total re-sync of the machine/server and thus the ipad Thus everything needs to resync before I leave again. It’s only a hour before I walk out the door so I’m less than excited. Everything is being reprocessed from the Server and the IOS client now…

Thanks for the heads up, @systemshark (and sorry to hear about those problems :cry:) I’ll let the Sync team know about this.

Hi @sa2000 . No I am not using two accounts. Your first note explains a couple of things buts it’s a caused by using window 2016 server. Because you can’t run a desktop app on the server for long periods which is why I’m using the plex as a service app. The upgrade method is basically stop servic…

[image] systemshark: The upgrade method is basically stop service. Run pms to do upgrade and exit it back. Then restart the service. Well that is risky - unless you make sure same machine identifier gets used. So the LocalAppDataPath setting in the registry for the account the service runs go…
