Server Version#: 1.17.0.1709 Player Version#: a lot I have two plex servers with plex pass. 1.17.0.1709 (Win16\_1) and 1.21.0.3711(strassbg13) . Until a few days ago both servers work sufficiently. Suddenly my client (???) on my android phone request a server update of Win16\_1 ???. strassbg13 still works. I used different clients (rasplex, fire tv, nvidia shield) Except rasplex all of them reqeusted an update.Rasplex works and within the browser firefox (client) as well. I prefer still 1.17.0 but then I updated to 1.21.0.3711 on Win16\_1. But then surprise , surprise it still does not work. Firefox works and rasplex works. Nvidia shield, Fire tv do not. Has anybody an idea ? ---

Mea culpa, I was wrong. I cloned a virtual machine with the old Plex server and updated to the new version of Plex. I thought that I have switched off the old Plex on the original machine but later I saw that Plex was not switched off. So 2 Plex servers were logged in. So I switched off the old server and everything worked fine. But anyhow I am now missing the back switch to a previous web site of the server. That`s why I wanted to stick with the old version. Next Point : The input field for the Database location is missing. My database is about 500 Gb and it is not a good idea to leave it on the system hd. I know that I can change it within the registry , but what about a normal user ? And again what kind of behaviour is it that a user is forced to update his server installation ? ---

I mean the the small back arrow near the home button. ![arrow](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/2/3/23a5684d1bf797cbfc08baf4258d716ce01d1049.png) And concerning the new way for database location: Do you think that is progress ? ---
