I'm new to Plex can't find server

I’m new to plex. I have it on my 2012 iMac. it was loading library. I checked this morning, and it says it can’t connect to server. all I did this morning was try to set the app on roku tv.

I noticed when I signed in on the app it says I have more than one server. in the drop down list I only see one server. what should be next step? I’m using Mac (Catalina)

Hey welcome to Plex :slight_smile:
The initial setup can be rough. While I don’t have an immediate solution to what may have occurred because it’s complicated and the info you provided is basic, I can give a few pointers that might help.

  • on the Plex website, scroll to the bottom and click Articles. That’s the user manual.
  • There are three types of Sign In that are interrelated:
    1. The website plex.tv login.
    2. The Plex Web App login.
    3. The claiming of the server
  • When doing setup related issues, I make sure I’m signed into the website, and not just the app.
  • When first setting up PMS, you open a non-secure web page in a web browser with
    http://ip.addr.of.pms:32400/web because claiming can only happen that way.
  • Problems getting that far can lead to duplicate PMS server or you being locked out of yours.
  • If you search these forums for Incognito Mode, you’ll come across posts by ChuckPA that deal with fixing multiple servers in your PMS settings and claiming.

good luck
