Preparing to unpack plexmediaserver_1.-982421575_b. 252193 files and directories currently installed.) I use SSH to connect to all my servers and changed to the /Downloads directory and issued the following command: $ sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.-982421575_b I copied the package to my server /Downloads directory using SFTP. I chose to download the update, however the update package was downloaded to my client rather than to my server. 29 - This morning Plex reported that an update was available. There is a setting somewhere in Plex to avoid deleting your files uncheck 'Allow media deletion' in Settings, Library, show advanced. I used caja to copy movies from the WD USB drive to the appropriate dvd_rips file on /data3. I did not want to expose my movie collection to plex directly, so I initially created a curated set of movies on longitude /data3. NOTE: Deleting movies in plex also deletes the original. If I were doing this again, I'd be using a snap. It will update whenever possible and save you the trouble of going through my updating procedure below. Ray, franksmcb's suggestion to use snap to load is great. Been trying Plex server for a long while.įranksmcb has suggested snap to load?

[Plex reports 'There are no items in this folder' - used paths /media/ray/Biggy4 (movies) and /media/ray/Biggy2 (TV Shows) in setup.Īccording to a Plex help file Plex cannot see files on Linux and gives a procedure to change Linux to 'see'.
