I have two computers with Plex Server installed. I have always used my iMac as server, but I recently installed the server app on my MacBook Air. Sometime in the last couple of weeks, my AppleTVs switched, and now they think the MacBook Air is the server.
The problem is, today I put a 5TB USB drive on the laptop so I could use it when the iMac is busy. I added a couple of new libraries on the MacBook Air, but the AppleTVs couldn’t see them. In hopes that the problem was just the confusion with server location, I completely uninstalled the Plex Server from the MacBook Air, but nothing changed - in fact I took the above picture after I removed the server from the MacBook. So, how do I tell my media players that they aren’t playing files from the laptop, but the iMac. To be clear, everything is playing fine from the iMac, there is just confusion regarding location. I’d like to fix the problem so I can try again to use the MacBook Air as an alternate server. the iMac is running the most recent version of Plex Server (Version 1.41.7.9799) and MacOS 15.4.1. The MacBook Air OS is 15.5. How do I fix this problem? Do I have to do anything special to run a server on the laptop?
