I accidentally posted this same question in the regular forum twice, but I can’t figure out how to delete a post. I have read and attempted the instructions in other posts related to moving an account and switching an account, but those instructions do not seem to match my situation.
I bought a new computer and I want to set up that new computer as my server and wipe the hard drive on my old computer. On my old computer I signed out and exited Plex. I copied my videos to my new computer and installed PMS thinking I would be able to start working with all of the videos I had just copied to it, but all I see is “Looking for servers …”. I honestly don’t care about my preferences and set-up, I just want to be able to start working with the files on my new computer instead of having Plex keep looking for my old computer. I thought this would be as easy as installing Plex on my new computer but I’ve been working at this for hours, and I’m very frustrated with Plex.
Essentially, I just want to have Plex recognize the new computer as my server and stop looking to my old computer as the server. Does anyone have any suggestions?
