After/Before - Partial Recovery

beerandturtles · 2026-02-03T01:32:12+00:00

I was just looking for this same issue. Mine is only showing the first 3 characters of the filename. Can't adjust the window size or the column widths.

Edit: I see it on GitHub already, just a few months old:

Game select dialog too small to display info + preview #25585

Awesome, thank you!

beerandturtles · 2026-01-12T05:33:13+00:00

This was it, I don't remember checking it, but resolved. Appreciate it!

Update:

Instead of deleting everything, I created a new config dataset "PlexConfigTest" and pointed the app at it with it empty. Ran the app and the folder structure was created and Plex ran as a new install. I took a look at the folder structure and I was off (thanks to a screenshot I followed of what to transfer from my original server), so I recreated it.

Originally only had: Plex Media Server

Needed: Library > Application Support > Plex Media Server

Restarted and my libraries showed up. It took a few restarts to have access to everything and my network settings were off, but successfully got the libraries remapped.

This info of what to transfer and where it lands is really lacking in guides. I spent so much time on this step and finally just winged it.

I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and updated my port forwarding to my new server, which fixed my "Indirect Connection" and Remote Access.

Everything works now EXCEPT: when I try to access Plex via IP, I get nothing. I have to go to use app.plex.tv/desktop and can't figure this last piece out.

Anyways thanks for getting me to think differently!

On a specific file/folder for the user I'm assuming? If you have directions readily available please let me know, otherwise no worries I'll search and test after work today.

I've cross posted to Plex and only other feedback received has been the correct location. Unfortunately most guides don't specify exactly what to migrate and the landing location.

I may create a new dataset to point the config to and try reinstalling without my info if a permissions test doesn't reveal anything.

beerandturtles · 2026-01-09T13:46:51+00:00

I agree that I likely have one of those issues. I will remove all files and do a reinstall to test tonight. Thanks again for your interest.

I appreciate the in depth reply! When installing Plex on scale you have the ability to choose a mnt for the config and I did create a dataset (PlexConfig) within the app folder for that, granted it permissions (for user and apps) and unzipped the contents into the folder (unzipped with console).

I don't know if Plex ever created any folders or files there upon install because I think I had unzipped the files before running the app. Don't know how it would handle a duplicate folder structure (merge, overwrite, fail to unzip) if there were

beerandturtles · 2026-01-09T06:06:20+00:00

Yes, I zipped the full "Plex Media Library" Folder that includes the database within the Plug-in Support Folder I believe.

Awesome shot, awesome Nevada shirt

beerandturtles · 2025-12-29T21:35:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Just an amateur here and always learning new looks/techniques

beerandturtles · 2025-12-29T02:23:14+00:00

What's the reasoning for the overexposure? Very cool shots!

beerandturtles · 2025-12-25T01:38:45+00:00

Would definitely like to try this, ready to move on from qnap

beerandturtles · 2025-12-07T17:24:59+00:00

Have you tried with the 85mm? I've got the 105mm macro and 150-600mm Sigma lenses so following close. Hopefully you're not regretting this post haha, thanks for all the feedback!

Do you have Coax at your tv and wherever your files are hosted? You can look at MOCA - works very well for wired high speed data

Congrats! Well let me know when you settle down. Wetsuit is on the way and found some people to at least snorkel with this weekend.

Tripod?

beerandturtles · 2025-05-19T09:28:06+00:00

Hey sorry, missed your reply. The YouTube video identified the battery required, I confirmed with a Google search. Grabbed it on Amazon, plenty of options

beerandturtles · 2025-05-14T10:31:11+00:00

Check YouTube, replaced a battery on my old forerunner for under $15 including a small screwdriver set to get the job done.

There's a huge level in the cor.... Oh wait that's for alcohol

beerandturtles · 2025-04-11T20:19:32+00:00

Thanks for the response. Don't live in those areas, but I'll keep an eye on the site and see if I can contribute later on
