Server Version#: 1.23.1.4602 Player Version#: I"m running MAC OS 11.4 off of 2 external drives both of which work fine, my iTunes libraries see them fine. Since the last 2 Server Updates I can’t see my TV Shows directories and Plex no longer updates the other directories as well. I can’t delete or even manage my libraries from the web portal on any web browser either. Do I completely delete my account and start over or what? ---

If you have set up a backup directory, you may have been able to use a previous backup. Then checked for Database Corruption and repaired if required. All you need then is to run a Library Scan. > **[Repair a Corrupt Database | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201100678-repair-a-corrupt-database/)** > > Though rare, it is possible for your main Plex Media Server database to become corrupted. For instance, it might happen... Then again a clean install can be beneficial with so many updates these days. ---
