Server Version#:1.41.5.9522  
Player Version#:  
Hi, I have Plex Media Server installed on a pc with windows 10, but I can’t add a server. If I click on “+ Your Content” I get the screen to get Plex Media Server, but I already have it installed. So I’m in a loop that I can’t get out of. Can anyone give me a hand?

In order to complete the setup you need to open your Plex Media Server through its local IP.

If you’re on the same device… open [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) in your browser. If you’re on a different machine inside your home network, use http://[PMS IP address]:32400/web instead. This will bring up a wizard/dialog where you can name your server and link it to your Plex account (as well as creating your first libraries).

Once you “claimed” your server (=linked it to your Plex account), you’ll also be able to access it from other Plex apps or via [http://app.plex.tv/desktop](http://app.plex.tv/desktop).
