NOT a problem. “Repair” just adds a few more steps.

1. Confirm all your metadata (DSM 6 server) still resides in the “Plex” shared folder. NOTE: It will and must reside there until the final step where it actually does move to DSM 7 format & structure

2. Uninstall + Erase option that screwy PMS version which is tagged BETA (1.21.x.3744)

• Erase clears out the errant/rogue DSM 7 phantom server it tried to create

3. Now install PMS as downloaded from Plex.tv/downloads

4. It should complain about “PlexMediaServer does not have full control of the Plex share” (words to that effect)

5. Now pick up here in my migration instructions (screenshots included) which show the easiest way to set permissions for the transition from DSM 6 → DSM 7.

DSM 7 - Plex Media Server - Release Info & Migration instructions

DSM 6 → DSM 7 Migration Process NOTE: Use the Plex package from Media Server Downloads | Plex Media Server for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and More ONLY. Package Center is no longer compatible with Official Release DSM 7.0-41890 and above. Use the following steps then continue below as is appropriate for your configuration. Uninstall the DSM 6 Plex app Control Panel - Shared Folders - Verify the Plex share is spelled “Plex”. If not - Rename it to “Plex-temp” and then back to…

NOTE:

If, when you perform the migration, you still have your metadata in the “Plex” shared folder, another round of Uninstall + Erase might be needed.

It does happen for some but not all therefore be certain , or ask, before using ERASE again
