No, we don’t have anything like that installed. I use the Plex app on the usual clients (ATV, Shield or directly on the TVs). When I set something, I open the browser on the PC, go to Plex, log in. I suspect that the long link comes because it goes through the website. If I log in directly to my NAS and open Plex, the browser opens with the IP address.
I just used your link to log in again from work, I’m logged in, the address in the browser is actually very short. Unfortunately, the other server is still listed.
I don’t know where he gets it from, whether we have removed each other and logged out, everything shared was canceled beforehand.
What website? plex.tv or something else?
If you use my link above, you should not see some weird parameter _gl=1*xxxxxxxxxx.... in your browser address bar.
What happens if you hold down the CTRL key and click on the Reload button of your web browser?
Does this rogue server also appear if you use the Plex for Desktop app (download below)?
I’ll have to check again tomorrow morning to see if the address bar is always filled as shown in the screenshot. Right, when I use your link I don’t see it (the old server is still there)
CTRL and prepare:
The website reloads normally and the other server is still there.
Yes, the unwanted server is displayed everywhere, cell phone, tablet, ATV, Shield, 3 TVs and in the Windows app, but in one circumstance I don’t see it when I’m at home in the browser with the IP address on Plex. Picture 4 of 5
No, we have shared absolutely nothing. I have had the server on a Synology since 2019 and he has it independently on a wdmycloud. They have never been on the same network. At some point we became friends in Plex and shared each other’s servers. That was no problem either. As described in my post, when I searched for films about actors, only his films were shown instead of mine. We stopped sharing with each other. The films are now only from my Server is showing, are working again. Then we left each other’s servers and unfriended each other. But his server remains
How long has it been, since you stopped sharing with each other?
If it was just recently, I’d ignore the server entry for a few weeks (let’s say 8). It appears only in the MORE… mode anyway.
You can befriend each other again, if you want to. (Being friends is now separate from sharing media.) Which allows you to share your playback history if you want and exchange some ratings and reviews about movies and series in general: https://support.plex.tv/articles/activity-feed/
That was only 2 weeks ago, I’m putting a marker on the calendar for 6 weeks. and would then like to give further feedback. It’s true that it can only be seen under more, for the sake of order I wanted to remove it from there. I wrote here because I couldn’t find a solution. If in the end it’s a bug in the database, that’s it. I thank you very much for the support.
