Can't find server after reinstall

Server Version#:1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3
Player Version#: 1.54.2.2367-d35cd36f

I’ve just reset my computer and reinstalled my Plex Media Server but when I select the correct folders, it creats a whole new server without all my playlists, preferences and already seen movies. Now it shows my old server as unreachable.
How do I fuse the two servers and get back all the time I invested in playlists, etc.

Thank you for your help

Chances are that doing so has emptied your previous Plex data folder. This is the place where your Plex library lives. It is not uploaded to a cloud server or into your account on plex.tv.

Unless you can restore the previous plex data folder from a backup copy, I’m afraid it is lost.

If the plex data folder is indeed still there, you can try your luck with restoring a copy of the main plex database file. The main database file is often corrupted if the server is not shut down cleanly or the storage volume runs out of space.
