Change or move metadata from windows to nas

[Hispanico957 23]

I would like to switch from the server to Windows to the server on the NAS (QNAP).

It is possible to copy ora move all metadata and pictures to the NAS from  from 

X:\Users\Marco\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata 

to NAS ?

And if yes in which directory in NAS  ?

 

Thank

Hi, not easily. Have you enabled saving images and nfo files to media folders on your windows server?

Then you're in great shape as all of that can be re-used with a new installation.

Ok but please tell me the correct procedure to move all the metadata on NAS. (infact i dont want use emby server on windows)

I install on NAS Emby server, after i think i must select the correct paths of movie and serietv.

Did this thing I must move from the Windows directory all metadata (which folders  in programdata ?) and where in Nas directory folders ?

 

Thank again

This varies on all platforms.  You would need to look at a Emby server log from the NAS to see the Data path.

Ideally everything in Emby-Server\programdata would be copied to Data Path on NAS.  But all libraries path will most likely not be interchangable across platforms so /root/default/each library options.xml would need updated and library.db mediaitems table will need Path and Images columns updates with new path.

In the end without manual updates, you cannot copy cross platforms.
