Authorized Devices on https://www.plex.tv

Plex Media Server
1

Actually, I don’t know if this is server or back office related.

I go to www.plex.tv and log in. I click on the Account Settings menu.
Under Authorized Devices I see

1 instance Garage (FireTV4K)
2 instances of AFKA (I think this is the NVDA player)
7 instances of Edge. (figures…)
2 Keiths Plex (my server)
1 Amazon Alexa (probably the Alexa Skills)
3 Plex Auth App (huh?)

What I don’t see is the Master device (my newest FireTV4K Max hardware)
I linked it yesterday. But I was asked to link it again today.

This all seems suspicious. Why would I have multiples of my Plex server, Edge players, Auth devices, etc?

How can I delete redundant devices?

Should I reset my Plex account and start over?

Thanks

AFTKA?
AFTKA = Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
See Fire TV Device Specifications: Overview

You should only have one instance of your server.

You’ll sometimes see two if you’ve changed hardware, unclaimed/re-claimed, etc. One probably has an old date compared to the other. You can delete the older one. Worst case is that it unclaims your server and you have to re-claim it.

I always have a lot of web instances. They usually have different versions, as Plex updates the version on app.plex.tv. If I login from a different PC, using the browser on my tablet, etc, it will make another entry. A lot of them are usually days or weeks old and you can delete them. Worst case is you have to login again.

No. Nothing nefarious happening.

Thanks, Mr. FordGuy!

I wonder if it is politically unacceptable to name a FireTV4K Max “Master”. Because that name doesn’t want to stick. (But it is so named on the Amazon site…) I will try a different name…

Something is not right. I am tenacious , if nothing else.

Cheers
