I had a Plex update that allowed ‘Language’ dropdown become available again, allowing to make a new library. However, now I am on Plex Server 4.41.08994-f2c27da23 (Plex Web version 4.136.1), and the same issue is recurring: language drop down is unavailable, so I cannot create a new library. ---

Do you see the same problem if you use the hosted version of the web client at [https://app.plex.tv](https://app.plex.tv)? ---

Yes, the issue is found via this path as well: [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/server](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/server) Usually plex opens at the 127.0.0.1/port/web/index.html ---

I’m having the same problem. Did this ever get resolved? TIA. ---

I just upgraded Plex Media Server to 0.8993. Now when I go the Add Libraries screen, the spinner just spins and I don’t see what used to be there. ---

I see this same issue and another bug where the meta-data agents are not available on the TrueNAS Core/BSD version. You may also be unable to edit an existing library (add new folders). It started with version 1.40.0 and is still there in the latest version. I have reverted to version 1.32.8, that is the last version that worked properly. I am running 1.41.0.8992 on my Ubuntu box and it does not have these 2 bugs. ---

No, unfortunately. I’m still on 1.41.0.8994 (per General tab) and no new updates have come out yet to address this. ---

After searching multiple posts, I found out that disabling the VPN while Adding/Updating Libraries bypasses the problem. Apparently, even though I’m using split-tunneling to enable Remote Access, the VPN was causing the problem. ---

Thank you for searching and sharing…that did the trick! Turned off VPN and Language drop down populated after a brief second to ‘load’, as if it was downloading. Obviously Plex is requesting the language list, but I’m curious why that minor feature wouldn’t work thru VPN. ---
