A friend of mine has been working on his PMS and sent me an invite to see if I could see it remotely. It changed him to the admin on mine and deleted other users within my house hold from my PMS. How can I get them back without having to recreate them? I don’t want to loose their played vs not played and I had a bunch of rating rules set up.
Has anyone had this happen and how do you fix this?
He didn’t invite you as a friend, he added you to his Plex Home. You can only be in one Plex Home at a time, so when you accepted his invitation, you gave him “top billing.”
You should be able to just leave his Plex Home, and you will be re-established as admin of your own server. Afterward, have him send a Friend invitation, rather than adding you to his Plex Home.
As far as I know, they should still be there. If they’re not, they were probably deleted when you accepted the invitation. You’ll have to recreate them.
Edit: I found this post from one of the ninjas. That should mean that your users and other server configs should still be there:
It completely removed my users and logged all of my devices in my home completely out. Their info might be in the files somewhere but how do I bring them back? All I see is the create/add new user.
