im sick of this, i cannot ever get a plex installation to work properly. i always have to google some oddball trick to edit the reg and get it working.

The instructions DO NOT WORK

this is a new machine, im not trying to repair an already existing server.

bottom line is this is unacceptable.

does anyone have a link to the actual fix (not the one in the plex guides that doesn’t work)
