Habe you been able to verify that your remote access setup is configured correctly and working (e.g. if you access your own server’s libraries from outside your home network)? Edit: You could also ask them to verify your shared libraries are listed in the sidebar’s „More“ section.

Yes. I hotspotted my laptop to my phone as an external network and could access everything just fine. And my phone app works with no issues. My fiancee doesn’t get the “More” option. I have also toggled the remote access to no avail

The issue is with the version of PMS you have installed. Your version is having a vulnerability and Plex is therefore blocking others from accessing it. You’ll need to upgrade to 1.42.1 or newer (see the link posted by @TheLivingBubba → good catch, I missed the PMS version in the OP).

Thanks guys. I’ve updated to PMS 1.42.1 now and despite more hiccups, everything is now working again. Thanks everyone and I’ll keep a closer eye out for updates
