Transcoding crashes linux

[ChuckPa]

Target/New System:

1. Media mount points exactly the same prior to PMS install
2. Install same binary package as current.
3. Run once.
4. Stop.
5. Delete “Library” directory in /var/lib/plexmediaserver

Source / existing system

1. Stop PMS
2. cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
3. sudo tar cf /home/PlexLibrary.tar ./Library (assuming /home is viable to use)
4. transport that tar to the target’s /var/lib/plexmediaserver

Target/ new system

1. cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
2. sudo tar xf PlexLibrary.tar
3. sudo chown -R plex:plex ./Library

== Swoopy way ==

sudo sh
mount new-host:/var/lib/plexmediaserver /mnt
cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
tar cf - ./Library | (cd /mnt ; tar xf - )

Now sign into target/new and complete the chown -R step in that UID/GID space.

The old host is now fully mirrored. Delete its Preferences.xml prior to using again.
