Just for clarity, here’s what I just did for my Windows system to get past the “server unreachable” problem and it seems to be running ok now!
-
My system would only run PMS v.1.17. Any upgrade to v.1.18.x caused the dreaded “server unreachable” error on the web interface and high CPU usage.
-
I followed these database repair instructions and grabbed the sqlite3 tools
-
My database did not indicate it had any corruption, the integrity check passed without errors.
-
Regardless, I did the complete run a repair procedure. The newly built database was smaller than the original one, so clearly it’s trimmed some unnecessary data from the DB.
-
I launched PMS and verified that Plex started ok with v.1.17
-
I grabbed a fresh copy of v.1.18.4.2171 and ran the PMS upgrade
-
PMS started fine… no more “server unreachable” errors!
