The database is your most important as that has all your Library info, Server configuration and metadata (including corrected Show/Movie matches).Ī backup file of this is created every week in Plex's AppData folder, so if you want a backup of it, the best thing is just to have a scheduled task/cron job that copies the database backup to another location. These can easily be re-fetched/cached and take up a large amount of space and a lot of time to backup due to a large number of small files. Different copies of images are cached depending on the devices that have access your media server so you can easily have 3-4 images per video files. These are held in the Media & Cache folders, and I would really advise against not trying to back those up. into the PLEX plugins folder, but I cant find where on the NAS PLEX (or any. The Plex database doesn't contain images. Download the Plex Media Server and TVheadend plg files from unRAID plugins. (Actual Media has several backups).Īs I understand it Plex does not update the files directly, Everything is held in the database and if this is corrupted you are basically SOL.
If not, you may need to set up remote access in the Plex Server settings, or reconfigure it to be on the same subnet.I want to make a backup of The FULL Plex database which includes images, metadata, Info ect. Or it could be that QNAP support is the best way to go (not for Sonos playback, but on how to adjust permissions).Ī reboot of the NAS, Sonos and your router may also help.Ī final thought - is your Plex server/QNAP on the same subnet as Sonos? It should be, I believe. I changed the permissions and Plex worked on Sonos.Īs it could be a Plex configuration issue, though I can’t think of any relevant settings myself. In Package Center, click the Manual Install button. I knew that Sonos needs rw permissions over SMB, and guessed that Plex might as well (at least when serving to Sonos). When the download is done, fire up DiskStation Manager, and then open Package Center.
Plex should bypass this for Sonos, and I believe I only needed to allow permissions for both because I also use the Sonos Music Library pointing to the same path as Plex, so I have 2 ways of accessing the same folder (not needed for the average user but for facilitating technical support). You are correct about Sonos not needing permissions - this is why I edited my earlier post. If the Plex software is included on your QNAP device, then it’s likely QNAP will be able to assist - but it would also be more likely that you don’t need to adjust any permissions at all. All I can say is I had a similar problem, and that was what fixed it. Your system is different as you are using QNAP - I can’t assist you with that.
Hi can’t say for sure what you’ll need to do as my NAS is a Pi running Linux and I just used the CHMOD 664 command to alter file/folder permissions for the user that the Plex service utilises.
