That’s correct. Plex.tv tracks servers by their ID. You cloned one to take to the other.
At this point, they are mutually exclusive.
To remedy this we will change the host-native server. (don’t mess with Docker)
-
Stop Plex
-
Go to
/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server -
As ‘root’, using the text editor of your choice, edit
Preferences.xml. -
VERY CAREFULLY, remove the following
Name="Value"pairs (the entire pair=value)
- MachineIdentifier
- ProcessedMachineIdentifier
- AnonymousMachineIdentifier
-
SAVE the file
-
Start PMS
-
Open the server by LAN IP and make certain it claims again.
We are going to void the certificate for this server and issue it a new one as soon as you have it running and claimed. (I need to be able to distinguish which is which at Plex.tv)
If you have other plans here - Please do let me know in advance if possible.
I didn’t know you were going to run both simultaneously.
