Server Version#:  
Player Version#:

Yeah, I kind of don’t have those two, as I have no access to the server.

Linux version: Raspberry Pi OS lite software (updated).

> Linux v200 5.15.56-v8+ #1575 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 22 20:31:26 BST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I have two servers - a Windows server, and a Linux server on a Raspberry Pi, without GUI. The Windows server I had no problems with, except I had to reclaim the server.

When I goto the localIP of the Raspberry Pi server, like ::32400/web/index.html, all I get is a XML script, like

> \<MediaContainer size=“25” allowCameraUpload=“0” allowChannelAccess=“1” allowSharing=“1”  
> etc.

On Windows when trying to access the server, I just get “PI-SERVER-NAME is currently unavailable” and “The server “PI-SERVER-NAME” is unreachable. Make sure it’s running, double check your network, and try again.”.  
The server software is the latest, just updated a few days ago. I’ve used the server since.

From the result, it seems you only used a snippet of the given URL (e.g. `[Pi IP address]:32400` instead of `[Pi IP address]:32400/web`). Make sure you’re on the same subnet as the device when attempting to reclaim it!

Yeah, sorry about that. I already tried that from the beginning (actually with :32400/web/index.html)

But now it works. Server is back and running. I have no clue, what changed.

Only error now is, that if I access the Pi server from my Windows PC, in the settings panel where I can choose the server, it now says “The server “PI-SERVER-NAME” does not allow secure connections”. And a red alert triangle at the server name. But it has a button called “Allow insecure connections”. I’m not too keen to press that one, as I’ve had problems with that in the past, making my server completely inaccessible, and requiring a complete reinstallation of the server software.  
And I only ever access the PI server via my TV and its Plex app.

@Akyhne

Go to [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms)

You will see you have two servers with the same name (presumably this new and the old one)

REMOVE the old one.

Now reload the browsers and apps.
