GameOverAus 0 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago So i've been a plex user for years but recent updates are rendering it more and more worthless and anti-user friendliness, much Windows vs Linux Initially tried Jellyfin but that hammers the Synology drives to the point the pool kept crashing one of the drives Anyway i installed Emby via the package manager and noticed something which likely doesnt matter but Emby my setup has the Nas system and a Volume 1 which is the shared pool and within that i have it broken down to a drive that essentially holds all stuff accessed by my windows PC and is where the media is stored for Plex. and another that was purely the Plex appdata folder so if something went wrong it was easy to access, As can be seen in the pic Volume 1 has docker, emby (ignore this it was created for what im asking for), PlexMediaServer (the appadata for plex) and Synology is the drive share with the network Plex allowed you to put the appdata elsewhere but Emby does not? it installs it to the hidden system folders which are only accessible via ssh? Is my only option to do it by docker and try to work out what the bleep im doing? So i want Emby to be installed into that Emby folder or the AppData to be in that Emby Folder not in the system I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it and it immediately found the server again so clearly it is retaining that information. Jellyfin did the same.
GameOverAus 0 Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Sorry just an adition Reason being I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it and it immediately found the server again so clearly it is retaining that information. Jellyfin did the same. and going in by SSH/Putty and the folders are still there after installation. SO what is it actually uninstalling? Or is this purely a Synology issue? Thanx if you got this far and kudos to the makers, it's atleast an alternative
Luke 42879 Posted 37 minutes ago Posted 37 minutes ago HI, we don't currently have a way of moving this to another location on Synology. When you uninstall, it does leave the data folder behind, so this requires a manual deletion if you want to make a fresh start when reinstalling.
