FAQ 8: Uninstalling PMS - Reverting to a previous version

  1. Changing versions (up or down) does not lose your data unless you manually delete it
  2. Programs are stored in the App Store. Metadata is stored is the Plex share.
  3. Uninstalling the package from Package Center is 100% safe - except for any activities PMS may be performing.

The safest procedure is:

  • Stop PMS in Package Center
  • Uninstall PMS ( Uninstall + KEEP on DSM 7 )
  • Manually install the version you wish to use.
  • PMS will start again and, after a couple minutes to adjust itself again, will be fully operational.

This sequence is mandated by Synology.
