As the title says, I moved from CORE to SCALE. The issue I'm having is that my old preferences don't seem to be getting used by Plex on SCALE.

I use host paths for both the data and config, which seem to be visible/accessible by Plex. Just doesn't appear to be used.

I got my config files from
Code:
/mnt/.../iocage/jails/Plex/root/usr/local/plexdata/Plex Media Server/


Which I got from the article off of Plex. I believe this was all the files I needed to keep my config/metadata.

My data host path is the SMB share I used for my data on CORE.

I honestly don't know where to go or what to look at to figure out this issue as I'm not very experienced with Linux or Docker.

I'll provide any relevant information you may need.

Thank you all in advance for any advice.

Ok, so I finally figured out what was wrong.

Turns out, when moving your config and metadata it needs to be in a specific folder structure after your host path.

For example, if your host path is /mnt/<pool>/plex/config/

Your config files need to be in <host path>/library/application support/plex media server/<files>

Hope this may help someone.
