Server Version#: Player Version#: I have multiple plex tokens associated with different libraries and this is causing issues with Plex API. Does anyone know how to ensure that tokens are consistent across all libraries? ---

huh? When interacting with the API, you should always use the X-Plex-Token assigned to your admin account. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/) There are other tokens, yes. But I don’t see a reason to use the token of other users or the device token of one particular client. ---

If I go into any XML and scroll to the end (as the link you rockers suggests), I get one of 3 plex tokens. I’m connecting to plex via [https://pypi.org/project/PlexAPI/](https://pypi.org/project/PlexAPI/) as part of a wider .py script, using baseURL and token, however the programme is failing to connect properly. And I assume that having multiple tokens within an account is likely to be the cause? How can I consolidate so that only one token exists? ---

The other option is to connect via [https://pypi.org/project/PlexAPI/](https://pypi.org/project/PlexAPI/) using the standard username/password authorisation… and see if that works. ---

Have just tried singing out of all devices and now I can’t find my plex server at the IP:PORT and my domain (via reverse proxy) is giving me a 502 error 😕 I just keep getting logged into web app and the server doesn’t exist… ---

Just for your info - I’m running in docker on Linux. I recently restored from a backup which went fine, but somethings were not working properly. I feel like this is getting me to the heart of some of the issues that I’ve been having since restoring but now that I can’t access the server at all (even though it is running) I’ve hit a brick wall. ---
