Hey Chuck, it’s amazing the time and effort you’re taking to guide us. Thank You!

I have a Plex Pass, I’m on DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 5 at the moment, looking to upgrade to 7.0.1-42218 Update 3. I’ve set up the Plex Package in vDSM 6.2.4 with a couple movies and shows just to test how the upgrade to DSM 7 goes before I do it for real and I’ve also read through your instructions (Synology - DSM 7.0 Release - Plex Installation (Not Operational) Issues - #358 by ChuckPa). Couple quick questions I had:

  1. I assume a lot has changed since June, is that instruction set still the most optimal way to handle an upgrade to DSM 7 with regards to Plex?

  2. Assuming I do still have to follow those instructions, Seems to me I need to Uninstall the App, Spellcheck the shared folder, set idle timer and restart DSM BEFORE I upgrade my Synology to DSM 7. Did I get that right?

Edit: Apologies, I just stumbled across Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and a few How-To's - #33 by ChuckPa and that answers both my questions. Going to upgrade now and hopefully that goes well :smiley:
