Plugins failing to update

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

If it is the only plugin installed to a particular jail (which is the default case), then yes the jail will be deleted. Your data will not be deleted as long as it resides on a dataset separate from the jail.

when i back up this directory /var/db/plexdata i have all the important data (settings, which movies are already watched,...)?

I have only one plugin and the dataset was separated from the jail. I have only set the directory from the dataset for the jail.

Yes all that metadata is stored there.

Ok THX for the support.

After re-installation I move the old data in the directory /var/db/plexdata

You could do this, https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/plugins-failing-to-update.26879/#post-325923

Or some people use a script to update plex, but I dont have experience with it.

Hy

I have deleted the old PMS and installed the new Version.

I have also done a back up from directory /var/db/plexdata, but after reinstallation i have had no permission for copy the old data in the directory. So i wait any hours and the PMS has renewed the library

Now all works fine (PMS, Update,...).

Did anyone got this issue resolve without re-installing?
