Serviio has a list of directories to scan. It does scan those 
periodically, at least at each start of the application. The "media 
database" for serviio is just a index of the files in those directories. 
As such the media DB stays sort of intact respectively will be rescanned 
anyway.

If the media files you are serving via serviio are not in the jail 
itself (but in a share on the NAS which is then accessed from the 
serviio-jail, and if the jail is not deleted with the upgrade, the media 
files should not be deleted. The port itself doesn't touch the media 
files in any way. And serviio only accesses them read-only.

In the case of TrueNAS: I do not know. "In the same way you got it in 
the first place when you installed it" I would assume.
In terms of FreeBSD itself, deinstall + new install via the port, or 
from a local package build with poudriere are the the only 
possibilities, as the license of serviio doesn't allow to distribute 
packages. You would have to ask this question in a TrueNAS forum to know 
how this is handled there.
