Managing servers

Plex Media Server Remote Access
1

Hello,

I just installed the latest version of Plex on an Ubuntu 18 server. I logged to this server using my Plex account. Where do I find this server? I can only see my Windows plex server. Where is the place to manage the server you have under one account?

Thanks in advance

If this is a new setup, you need to access the local Plex server to claim the server. You can’t use the hosted version.

I’m accessing the server using the ip and port (http://myip:32400). When I do that I’m asked to login with my Plex account. When I do that I don’t see anything related to this new server.

4

try http://local.ip.of.server:32400/admin

like 192.168.1.6:32400/admin

So after logging in, you go to settings, you see your server on the left. Is there a drop down next to it?

401 Unauthorized

try it in an incognito chrome tab ?

also, once you do get the new server logged in, it should show up as moviefan indicated like @ image

Same result when I try with the incognito tab. My Panel doesn’t show the new server as the picture you sent me. I added a third server on windows and it works as you said but not the server with Ubuntu 18

If the server is linux,

  1. Sign out of Plex/web on the local machine
  2. ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 ip.addr.of.host (if using windows - perform same ssh tunnel with “Putty”)
  3. Sign into the ssh shell of the linux box
  4. Open local browser, incognito window
  5. http://127.0.0.1:8888/web

With the previous attempts, it’s sometimes better to go into the Linux machine and

  1. Stop plex
  2. Delete “Preferences.xml”
  3. Start Plex
  4. Remove the previous instance of the server’s name from Settings - Authorized Devices - Servers to ensure no conflicts with Server ID numbers & names.

ah, so your server is not on the local network?

important information you did not mention?
