How to switch to another local server? Totally wasted UIX

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

1

Server Version#: 1.18.7.2457
Player Version#: IDK, a default
I have a dual boot system: Linux and Windows 7
Before I could easily boot any of those and have Plex working perfectly, selecting from the same library on my hard disk drive but serving with different names: “plex linux” and “plex windows”.
So what happend with that, huh? It doens’t work anymore.
I loaded my Windows system, logged into my Plex account, under account see BOTH servers, selected the Windows’ one but FILES ARE BEING DISPLAYED from the Linux one! I don’t see any way to switch that sh*t. There is basically no any controls to switch one server to another. And that despite I’ve already selected the proper (Windows) server under account as I just said.
Please, why do you break things? How to get them SWITCHED?

Few details. When I try to browse my library I see “!”-s in front of the every piece. If I click say Movies, I get “linux plex is currently unavailable”. Sure thing, because I’m now booted into Windows 7 and you was totally comfortable with this before easily switching things accordingly (or at least allowed me to do so) but not now! Now you cannot neither switch nor provide ME with a way to do this!

It sounds like you have associated both servers with the same account.

If you don’t want each version to “see” the other, try using a different account for each sever.

alternatively, you can customise the player on each OS so that the right server is pinned for each OS’ player.
