Server Version#:1.27.1.5916-6b0e31a64 Player Version#:4.76.1 Like a lot of people here the forced reset of passwords this morning caused my server to go unclaimed. Now I am unable to reclaim it. Going to :32400/identity shows claimed=0 I then tried to go to :32400/web and it lets me select my …

I am in the exact same boat. I have the same results on all the steps above you tried, including running Claimit.exe. I also tried in Shield deleting the app data. In the settings for the Plex app on Shield, I scroll down to Plex Media Server, which has status = Stopped. I try to start it, and i…

I have same problem. Not impressed. Spent hours last night trying everything but server will not start, just stays in “Stopped” mode.

Still no luck I tried replacing the preferences.xml from a backup I had and rebooted that did nothing. I tried following this: [image] Why am I locked out of Server Settings and how do I get in? | Plex Support In some rare situations, you may find yourself “locked out” from being able …

Have my server back, with all links. Server is on Nvidia Shield and data on Synology NAS. Went to web browser on Mac and entered “ http://192.168.1.6/web” (the 6 represents whatever plex link is). This brought me to a screen that said “finish setup” - I hit ok and it took me to a screen saying “ser…

GTiCrow I’ve done this a dozen or so times and have seen the “finish setup” prompt but never once has the server unclaimed notification ever popped up was there anything else you did that may have forced that to come up?

The only thing I did was I went to change the name in case it was setting up another new Server by adding a 2 to the name, then decided to delete the addition. It may have been then that the Claim Server appeared. That is the only thing I can think of.

I have a 2nd shield TV in the house. I setup a new Plex media server on that old Shield, and at least that is working and I am building out the libraries now. It’d be nice to get the original server working again, but I’m lucky to have a backup I can go to. Of course, now I don’t know where I lef…

One final attempt after 3 hours and I got it working. Not entirely sure anything I did helped at all but here was the final steps that worked for me. In the web client I could still see the Server but it was showing as empty/inaccessible so I removed it from the account in settings. I shut do…

I hope I am not forced to reset my password on my Sheild… this all sounds like a real nightmare!
