Admin account: avoid duplicate libraries with multiple servers on local network

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

How do I (the admin account of my Plex Home) sign in into a single server on my network, when there are multiple servers?

The story:
I have set up a second server on a spare computer in order to offload transcoding processes for the few friends with whom I’m sharing content.

All went well and they are both associated to my Plex account. I managed to copy the DB in order to preserve watched status for my friends.

All is great for friends and managed users (my wife) since I can assign individual libraries/servers to them.

But when I (admin) use PMP or Plex on iOS and browse libraries I see each library duplicated since they are listed for each server. Is there a way to prevent this, other than create a home user for me and use this account instead of the admin? That would mean losing all my watched/unwatched progress…

Both PMP and the IOS app are now supporting the ordering of the libraries and hiding some of them.

In PMP you go to the far right of the library list, onto the ellipsis …

In the iOS app it should be possible to ‘edit’, once you have dropped down the library selection.

Thanks @OttoKerner but unfortunately on both platforms you only get the option to reorder the libraries, not hide them.

You must reorder them below the line with . . .
Then they won’t appear.
