Plex Media Server webinterface won't start after moving Plex Library from Synology to FreeNAS jail

[theomolenaar]

I recently moved my Synology Plex Media Server to Freenas. I'd like to keep al metadata, watched/unwatched etc. so I made a backup on my Synology:
cd /volume1/Plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/
tar cvfz /volume1/Plex/tmp/PlexBackup.tar.gz Plex\ Media\ Server

To make sure the jail was set up correctly to run Plex I followed this tutorial: https://youtu.be/76vJcR6EdvE
All good and well. The welcome screen for the Plex Media Server was visible in the browser on this address: http://192.168.178.192:32400/web/
After that I removed all the FreeNAS PMS data from this folder: /mnt/pool1/iocage/jails/Plex/root/usr/local/plexdata/Plex\ Media\ Server/ and extracted the Synology backup to this folder. Also did:
chown -R plex:plex Plex\ Media\ Server

Unfortunately PMS web interface didn't start, the Plex Jail however did start. How do I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.:)

I don't think you will be able to do what you want. The FreeBSD version of the Plex application uses a different DB format, so you will probably need to rebuild your library.
