Should i upgrade to plex 9

How do I fix this on both sides? I thought this was going to be as simple as upgrading the client in windows. No, it's not as simple as upgrading the client in Windows. Not by a longshot. The two ways to upgrade are as I said above: 1. You make your own jail and manage the updates yourself. You stick with the plugin and you use whatever the plugin offers.

If it's 6 months behind then you are too. You've got a combination of 1 and 2. It will work at least it works right now , but there's no guarantee it won't break in the future, etc. If you read around the forums you'll see that pretty much you should stick to 1 or 2, although you can do a combo like you did but don't be surprised if you have problems sometime in the future.

These same limitations are true of all plugins, which is why I don't use plugins. You are at the mercy of the plugin writer to handle updates for you, and if they don't update you don't get a free update either.

Mine gives the same error too Is it possible to use the ' automatically check for updates' function? Joined Nov 20, Messages But it doesn't matter, you can mess everything utterly up and just make a new jail and start over!

I did a test just now, creating a Library with the old agent and then upgrading it. I let it complete, and confirmed that all of those scenarios worked OK.

I noticed that upgrading one Library triggered a Metadata Refresh in other Libraries as well … but with no ill effects. I wonder if there was some other issue in the Library, or if additional changes were made while the migration occurred?

Now for some reason my Movies library shows up as a Video library. How do I get it back to a movie library? I do have daily backups and can run one before I do it - so?

Membership in a Collection is identified by the Collections tag. That should be locked too. You may want to prevent automatic collections from being created. See the Library Advanced settings, Minimum automatic collection size. I expect this to be fine. From a database perspective, files are linked to Library Items. My Plex server folder is just under GB, I emptied the photo transcoder cache and can shave about 15 GB or so off that. Thanks for the back and forth on this, I imagine others will start getting this as it seems they just rolled this out?

This new database messed up some of my TV series seasons and episodes. I upgraded my movie ones earlier, but did the big tv library today, and manually refreshed some shows.

My one problem is that the Studio is being changed to something uncommon. I have previously noticed edge cases for metadata and unmatched media - editing metadata BEFORE a show is matched can cause it to be lost when it is matched.

Why did you edit them all manually? Why not follow the file naming scheme and let Plex pull the metadata for the show? The new agents have been the default for new Libraries for a long time. I almost feared this would happen.

Why would upgrading on one library trash manual collections in other libraries and start unmatching content in different libraries.
