Where can I find the hidden server settings for the plug-in?

Server Version#: FreeNAS-11.2-U7
Player Version#: 1.16.5.1554

I am running the Plex-server as a Freenas plug-in and I would like the setting “ArticleStrings” to be empty.
If I’ve understood things correctly there should be a file called Preferences.xml that contains the Plex-settings, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can find it?

in the Plex Media Server directory https://support.plex.tv/articles/202915258-where-is-the-plex-media-server-data-directory-located/

Thanks for answering!
I should have put in the original post that I have tried those locations without luck.

If I start a shell in the Plex-jail and change directory to /var/db there is nothing named anything with Plex, nor is there in /usr/local.

I’ve also tried /usr/local in the regular shell.

Hi @Steelglove, I use FreeBSD daily and this is unusual, specially in recent versions it should be in /usr/local (either if its the host or a jail).

Unless this is changed by the rc.d script that starts it.

Can you post o maybe look in your /etc/rc.conf, grep for plex those anything show up?

I updated one Plex server (to ver. 1.18.2.2058) and installed Plexpass (ver. 1.18.3.2129) on the other server.
I found the Preferences.xml file in the folder “Plex Media Server” directly under the shell root, added ArticleStrings="", restarted the jail and now it’s working :slight_smile:

That is not using the default config then, but glad you found it. I would still suggest having it either using the default or a different path than “root” but if that’s how you want it its you’re choice.
