Server Version#: 1.30.2.6563-7000 Player Version#:Version 1.62.2.3451-fb8ac0ae (windows) Hi all, just trying to work out what’s happened with my Plex install. Was running fine in DSM 6.2 but decided to move to DSM 7 as 6.2 is going EOL this summer. I attempted to follow the guide for updating and…

Hi, just wanted to say it’s finally installed, completed the migration of the old Plex folder and come up just fine (after about 10 mins of database migration). I’ve cleared out the stuff i created and it’s all looking good. Hopefully no further issues to come. thanks @ChuckPa for the assistance i…

Using Filestation - Do you still have Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server ? If so, Uninstall the DSM 7 package with ERASE option Install the package again The install automatically will search for an existing PMS installation in the Plex shared folder. If it finds one, and …

Thanks Chuck. I’m going to archive off the meta data with tar first just in case things go south then i’ll try again. I think my issue is the various shares (Plex,video,music) pre date the use of Windows ACL so are only using basic Unix Perms therefore i’m unable to use the ‘custom’ setting from the…

@ChuckPa , just to confirm you want me to choose option 3 ‘Erase All of Plex Media Server from this System (non recoverable)’ ? Assume this WILL NOT impact my media? Just want to double check before proceeding? I’ve manually changed the ownership of everything under the original ‘Plex’ folder to …

chuck made that option look so scary no one wants to click it even when he tells you to ha! he gets asked to confirm if that’s what he meant basically every time he tells anyone to do it. Cracks me up.

As I said — [image] ChuckPa: Do you still have Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server ? If so, IF THE ABOVE :point_up: IS TRUE THEN Yes, Uninstall with ERASE Please don’t talk about my craziness. It’ll give me a complex. :crazy_face: As for not seeing the “Custom” butto…

i think when i had an issue migrating that i made you log into my computer and click that big red button for me. as a society we have stopped erasing anything once disk storage got so cheap! not even moving stuff to the recycle bin erases it!

@ChuckPa so I turned on windows ACL function for the old ‘Plex’ folder - applied full control to the folder for PlexMediaServer internal user but it still refuses to believe it has access… ERROR: PlexMediaServer does not have full controlof the existing plex share followed by 11 steps to follow… …

[image] unclebobuk: ERROR: PlexMediaServer does not have full controlof the existing plex share You forgot to check the box Apply to this folder, sub-folders, and files You can now update that in FileStation. [image] …

@ChuckPa For the record, I did select Apply to subfolders - it took about 7 or 8 mins to apply. I’ve run it again and it says its done but when i run the installer again I get the message [Capture] I’ve gone back in to the file manager and it says Custom Full control is still applied. Is there …

Ok. So i worked out this is probably because somewhere it’s flagged that the install of plex should still be there - even though i’d renamed it and so it barfed when it got to this point. So i renamed the folder back to what it was, and reinstalled it. Removed it with option 3 (nuclear). And am now …
