The best plex migration

[DanielPT]

Hi All 

 

Im running a Windows server today with plex. 

 

I have a New server ready for unraid. 

But I cant figurer out the best moving proces. 

 

Today My movies is in 2 diffrent locations (HD and uhd) 

But when moving to unraid i want to have All movies in 1 folder. 

 

So i have 3 options 

 

1: move All movies and let it rebuild. Then i lose All watched status. 

 

2: setup sync with plex

And Then move All and let it sync. 

 

3: move the app data folder to unraid. 

 

What do you think is the best solution? 

Thanks! 

Regards Daniel

You can't go wrong with option 2 either way. 

I have my Content like so. 

 

Media/Movies

Media/Tv

 

All my Movies is in Movies

All my Tv Shows are in Tv 

 

There is nothing wrong with keeping your Movies in two different folders if you choose unless your system can't transcode or play put them all together. I run Primary Apple in my house so everything can Direct play except out of the house and then my Server steps up and Transcodes using a GTX1050 Video card. 

 

I don't have any experience moving a windows app folder to linux. So I can't confirm if it would work or not.
