Can't create new library

Server Version#: ???
Player Version#: 3.93.1
Hi I deleted my movies library and am trying to recreate it. Whenever I try in the server name no language option appears and after I pick a folder I can’t save changes. A message saying “Unable to save change” appears and nothing happens.

I would tell you my server version but when I go to look all I see is server settings are unavailable. I think it is the lastest version.

Are you using windows? Since you deleted the library, uninstall Plex and download and reinstall it. This will fix it. If you are seeing this message, it means usually that some of your database is missing but not all. If you don’t want to reinstall, you can do it the hard way and go to your registry editor and change the database location.

Oh sorry I should have specified, I am on FreeNas

Same answer, though. If you already lost the library, might as well uninstall and reinstall.

I have multiple other libraries I don’t want to lose though.

There is a post about this. I don’t know where it is, sorry. It is a broken database, but it can most likely be fixed. Wait for a better responder. I wouldn’t change anything in-case you damage it more or lose your other libraries. Sorry I couldn’t be more help

is it possible to save my libraries and then put them in a reinstalled plex?

That’s what I was talking about. There is a file to save. The whole database is huge, so I just backup the single file, but on your OS, I don’t know the location. Mine is in localappdata…

If you can go to your plugins folder, it might be the parent folder.
