I had to factory reset my Mac. I reinstalled Plex but I can’t find my server. I have access to a friend’s server (from a past invite) and I have the option to add a plex cloud server but I can’t find my original server to start reloading content. I’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling, signing out, etc. I don’t want to use a plex cloud server because it doesn’t make sense to me to have to upload to there from my computer and then upload it again into plex when I can just do that directly from my computer.
