@nibbles seems to have a solution: > [@Server settings are unavailable after last update. MacOS](https://forums.plex.tv/t/server-settings-are-unavailable-after-last-update-macos/815975/50): > > Known working version: 1.28.2.6151 [(download)](https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3/macos/PlexMediaServer-1.28.2.6151-914ddd2b3-universal.zip) Known working version: 1.29.0.6244 [(download)](https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.29.0.6244-819d3678c/macos/PlexMediaServer-1.29.0.6244-819d3678c-universal.zip) You need to do a downgrade to one of the above versions. I’ve tested both on my 2018 Mini x64 with 10.14.6 like you. Normally downgrading is as easy as stopping PMS and dropping a new one into /Applications. But by changing your plist you now have to sign out and reclaim. How To Sign Out PMS on a MAC, Downgrade, and Reclaim Sign out PMS from Remote and Local logins Quit out of PMS on the Mini if it… Don’t forget to heart that post if it solves your problem! Good luck!

From the latest release notes of Plex Media Server 1.30.1.6497 which is availabe in the Beta channel: > **(macOS) Some endpoints could return errors on macOS versions older than 10.15 (#13946)** This apparently is the fix for the “Server Settings are Unavailable” error.
