Even tried to remove plex server, and install it again (just kept my Library) but still the same…
Server is running something, as i can open player webpage on it. But the server part under settings are gone.
I dont care about the Library, that can be rescanned. But its sad if i need to re-share it with the guys i share with. As all “viewed” status gets removed…
I just remembered that i have tried to start the server without the Preferences.xml file in place, it gets created, but the server is still not working as it should.
If it’s on a different subnet and/or you’re not RFC1918 compliant with addressing.
You will need SSH tunnel into it. ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:8888 ip.addr.of.server
while there:
Stop PMS
rename the Preferences.xml to Preferences.xml.old
Start PMS
open http://127.0.0.1:8888/web
It will be a new startup/sign-in wizard.
Complete it as-if normal EXCEPT do not create new library sections. Skip that part.
Continue to the dashboard
Check / set preferences when there.
Thank you! And im sorry for all this time spent on my uselessness.
I just assumed that i was on the same subnet as the plex server. But yor last post made me check, and i saw that this was not the case. I went though my router and that stopped the onboarding.
