Long Story short I moved and my plex server stopped working correctly, I did a restore of the old data but Plex still kept getting the SQL database is corrupted and wouldn’t pull up on a webpage.
I deleted these three databases and the preferences.xml to get it working again. Which made me start over on poster art, collections, and friend settings.
com.plexapp.plugins.library.db
com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-shm
com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-wal
Well, Plex still runs a bit wonky, slow and transcodes take a while to start, now I am looking to reset my Plex server (along with the hosting unraid server as well). Just wanted to make sure I can keep the settings/information I want and nothing else to get rid of any bad settings/databases. Searching around the forums I came up with this info.
-The custom Poster Art (I need to keep the metadata folder??)
-Custom ratings/tags for movies and tv shows (no idea where to find this)
-My friends and share settings (no idea where to find this database)
-My server settings (this is the preferances.xml file??)
-My collections setup (no idea where to find this database or when I re-add the library’s if Plex will find the old tags for the collections)
So, do I have the right info/data to save for what I have or is it wrong? What are the locations for the items I couldn’t find. Also did I miss anything else that should be saved for a Plex migration? I uploaded my logs as well if anyone needs to take a look at them.
Thanks!
