just a heads up, I plan on pushing a small change to this PBI so updates (through FN) are no longer unnecessarily inefficient.
my plan is to add an rc.conf flag changing plex's support path to /var/db/plexdata. this would mean
1) updates through the FreeNAS PBI would be much faster.
2) users on the current PBI version would need to backup and restore their /usr/pbi/plexmediaserver-amd64/plexdata directory if they chose to update.
tell me if anyone has any comments of this idea, thanks
For larger plex databases a backup is probably more problematic then rescanning everything. (less time too)
For a improved upgrade process it wouldn't even be a hardship since the present upgrade process can take 5 hours to 9 which risks something hiccuping and broking the install.
Seriously curious to see what the new and improved is going to shave off the time of upgrading :)
