Having a similar issue to this thread, for some reason my server became unreachable while simultaneously a duplicate version was found. I don’t have a backup of my original preferences.xml, could anyone elaborate on how I could find the original identifiers to merge it back so that everyone I share with doesn’t need to manually switch servers?
Browse towards: https://plex.tv/api/servers?X-Plex-Token=<MY-TOKEN>
To find your token for above, read here:
Thank you for your response. As I understand it, I need to replace some of the identifiers from that page to edit the current Preferences.xml while the server is offline. Which identifiers do I need to shift? In the original thread, ChuckPA explains that I need :
MachineIdentifier
ProcessedMachineIdentifier
AnonymousMachineIdentifier
However on that page I see two variables named “MachineIdentifier” and none named either ProcessedMachineIdentifier or AnonymousMachineIdentifier.
Here is an excerpt from the page with replaced information
machineIdentifier=“zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” size=“1”>
<Server accessToken=“yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy” name=“Name” address=“vv.vvv.v.vv” port=“32400” version=“1.18.0.1913-e5cc93306” scheme=“http” host=“pp.pp.ppp.p” localAddresses=“192.168.1.ee” machineIdentifier=“xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” createdAt=“156500aaaa” updatedAt=“157225bbbb” owned=“1” synced=“0”/>
Above is found in endpoint: https://plex.tv/api/resources and is called clientIdentifier
Not sure, but think you could leave that as is
