I had a billing issue and my media totally disappeared from Plex and when I tried to install again the system keeps taking me to “Add your media to Plex”. I can’t seem to get the server to work and I’m totally stuck. I’ve installed the Server like 4x. No idea how to fix and the Wizard doesn’t launch.
Hoping someone can help me as I had about 40 movies on the system from my computer. Also I did upgrade my Pass to Yearly Premium - I paid for the year.
In order to complete the setup you need to open your Plex Media Server through its local IP.
If you’re on the same machine… open http://127.0.0.1:32400/web in your browser. If you’re on a different machine inside your home network, use http://[PMS IP address]:32400/web instead. This will bring up a wizard/dialog where you can name your server and link it to your Plex account (as well as creating your first libraries).
Once you “claimed” your server (=linked it to your Plex Media Account), you’ll also be able to access it from other Plex apps or via http://app.plex.tv/desktop.
PS: having a Plex Pass membership or not should not impact you setting up your Plex Media Server. This could only interfere if you’re using two independent accounts and try to access an existing server as a different Plex user.
