Can't claim the media server. Pushing the claim server button does nothing

Well this issue I am having since i did the latest update is now the plex app on the TV wont find the server from my PC. The reason that is is because it says I need to claim the server. Well I try to click the gray button to claim and it loads for a second or two and does nothing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting all the files in local app data, deleting the plex tv folder in the registry and I have tried after all that to reinstall. I get to the first screen where it says to name the folder and I name it press next and then it gives me a red box error screen that says error there is an error claiming this server. So I am lost. If anyone can help I would be greatful. ty :slight_smile:

Awesome cool ty for keeping me up to date on this fix. I greatly appreciate it :slight_smile: I have claimed the server, took a little bit to go thru but it worked :). Now I had to add my movie and tv shows folders again but that is all good plex is loading them up now :). Now those folders do still look grey with a warning symbol by them showing they can’t be found. So I will keep you posted on that if you would like me to :slight_smile:

Alright just checked real quick and the folders are full white and they are working. Ty again for the info on this fix :).
