I'm lost I went to add another device to my plex and it has locked me out of the server

I found a post in the Terramaster forum that might help: Can't find Plex database files - TerraMaster Official Forum

I’ve a Synology NAS, so the Plex stuff is pretty much the same, since both run Linux. However, navigating Synology vs TerraMaster vs QNAP is unique to each box.

Eureka we have struck gold.


Now I can see clearly now.

THANK YOU THANK YOU.

what next???

Which Log would you like me to send you??

once again THANK YOU THANK YOU

Plex Media Server.zip (10.6 KB)
Plex Media Server.5.zip (46.6 KB)

okay i hope these helps let me if you need anything else Thank You

Good. You can access the Plex Data Folder.

The log files are in /Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs, correct?

Is there a Preferences.xml file in /Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server? Don’t do anything with it. Just want to know if it exists.

Please upload some additional log files.

  • Stop Plex Media Server.
  • Pull & upload Plex Media Server.log through Plex Media Server.5.log to the thread (six files).

Also, what is in the “home” directory that is in your screenshot?

yes Preferences.xml is there

okay I have all 6 Files in a ZIP
Plex Media Server.5.zip (2.6 MB)


Nothing Empty Folder

THANK YOU!!!

I don’t see any glaring problems in the log files. Not sure why you cannot access Plex Media Server.

Let’s try this:

  1. Stop Plex Media Server.
  2. Look at Authorized Devices. If your server is listed, delete it.
  3. Rename Preferences.xml to Preferences.xml.bak.
  4. Start Plex Media Server.

Now try to access Plex, via the NAS IP: http://192.168.1.142:32400/web.

It will be unclaimed. You should be able to login and claim it. If you see the initial setup screens, don’t add any libraries, enable remote access, etc. Just breeze on through them and see if you can reach server settings. If so, claim the server.

YOUR A GENIUS THANK YOU THANK YOU that’s it’s everything is still here it’s reloading stuff BUT i can handle that as long as it back up and running Thank You for taking the time to help i appreciate it very much.

the very last question What’s the FordGuy61 mean??

Glad you got things working.

No secret meaning or anything. I drive a Ford. The first three or four IDs I tried when signing up for Plex years ago were taken, so I picked a big number and it worked.

that’s what I was hoping YES a big Ford guy my self right now I have

55 F-1 Ford Truck
68 F-100 Ford Truck father son project son joined the Marines became a Father project
97 F-150 Ford Truck Slammed to the ground

after the 97 I kinda fell away from Ford because that Triton Motor which now they call it a Coyote either way it still a Modular Motor it blew a head gasket I have it torn down to rebuild

To me there was nothing Wrong with the Old OHV motor I have 3 up against the wall in my shop 2 = 302 and 1 = 351
