Server Version#: 1.26.0.5715-8cf78dab3

I am hosting a server on a Mac Mini on my home network. Suddenly, Plex stopped showing my library and when I log into the server, it says that the server is Unclaimed. However, when I click the button to “Claim Server”, it just spins for a bit and then nothing happens or changes. I tried signing out of my Plex account in Chrome and going back to the server and choosing “Claim Server”. This time, it takes me to a login screen for Plex. When I log in, there, it takes me back to the settings screen where it shows the unclaimed server and says, " There was a problem signing in to Plex." However, it does have me logged in. Under the version info, it says, " Version 1.26.0.5715 Something went wrong. [Please install manually.]" But I’ve downloaded the Media Server app multiple times, reinstalling it, but the same thing keeps happening.

How can I reclaim my server to get back to watching things?
