Hi there - I have the Plex app for macOS desktop (latest ver.). I cannot figure out how to add my files at all. On the app I click “Your Media” which then tells me I need the Plex media server, which I have installed and uninstalled about 3 times now. however there’s nothing on there to get it to add media there either.  
Below are screenshots of what I have on the app itself, what shows up in the media server drop down menu, and what comes up in the web app. I feel like a total moron that I can’t figure it out. Thanks

2 ways to get there:

### 1. The Main navigation

1. Click `More >` in the main navigation
2. Hover your mouse over the server name – that’ll bring up a `+` icon and the vertical `...` to access the server’s context menu.
3. Click `+` to add a new library

### 2. Settings

1. Go to `Settings > [your server] > Manage > Libraries`
2. Click `Add Library`

I can’t even see my server when I click into my settings - just “install plex media server” which i have done.

Might be related to the blocker extensions you have installed in your Safari.  
Can you open Plex in a vanilla version of Chrome or Firefox -\> [https://127.0.0.1:32400/web](https://127.0.0.1:32400/web)

I am having the same problems on Win 10 Pro. I never saw the startup script.  
And I do not see server name.
