Server Version#: 1.41.3.9314  
Player Version#: 4.141.0 (Web)

Hello.

I had a few months since last used my plex media server (it was turned off). I had to reset my android tv and, to re-configure all my tv apps, I turned my plex server on and tried to connect from my tv. My local media did not appeared, so I upgraded my server (it was on v. 1.32something). Now, when I connect to the web app, there is no server settings! I cannot access my local media from anywhere, nether from the web app nor from the tv or android app. It is really frustrating and annoying.

When you go to [https://app.plex.tv/desktop](https://app.plex.tv/desktop) you have nothing?

Use this procedure when: You receive the nasty “No Soup For You” message You’ve changed your Plex password and now have trouble accessing something. You’ve cloned the server or performed a ‘backup & restore’ using the procedures above but now cannot access the server. First choice - Preferences.xml missing or deleted. If something happened to “Preferences.xml” and you need to claim the server again, with everything being normal, Start he…

I got the same page as if I access my server directly through it local IP address (the web app page). I think that’s the weirdest thing because, since I’m accessing the (local) media server through its IP address, obviously I’m accessing a media server, but there is no “Server” options on the config menu.

Is the Plex icon in the system tray (assuming you’re on a Windows machine) in the lower right hand corner?

No. I’m on a Linux machine.

Suggestion from @OttoKerner worked.

Thanks.
