So my Synology NAS got stolen, but luckily I had about 99% of my media backed up.
I mistakenly thought that all I needed to do in order to start a new server (on my Mac for the time being) was to unreleased it from my user.
I did that, but I don’t have have any option to start a new server.
What am I missing?
SOLVED:
This did the job!
In order to complete the setup you need to open your Plex Media Server through its local IP.
If you’re on the same machine… open http://127.0.0.1:32400/web in your browser. If you’re on a different machine inside your home network, use http://[PMS IP address]:32400/web instead. This will bring up a wizard/dialog where you can name your server and link it to your Plex account (as well as creating your first libraries).
Once you “claimed” your server (=linked it to your Plex Media Account), you’ll also be able to access it from other Plex apps or via http://app.plex.tv/desktop.
You might want to delete the old server on the Syno from your account: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms
Hmm, I don’t see it in the list.
Hmm, I’m there, and I still don’t see any option to start a new server, or any setup wizard/dialog.
Did you previously run a version of Plex Media Server on that machine?
If so you might need to clear some directories in order to start over.
