Server Version#: 4.69.1
Player Version#:8.28.030077
So we all know Plex has been a struggle since the update. I’ve installed the update and both hot fixes.
Everything was working fine. Then, this morning I got a “you are not connected to the internet” screen. (I was commented to the internet; all other aps were fine.) I rebooted and unplugged several times. Then suddenly a NEW SERVER appeared. My old server was called “SHIELD” it was still there with the little exclamation point, indicating it was offline. But now I had a new server “local host.”
It appears to be me old server. All my movies (2400) and TV series are there. All my meta data is in place.
Anyone have any idea what happened? “Is local host” stable? Should I try and delete the old “SHIELD” server?
Any advice?
"Local host " is what PMS uses on a brand new setup before it is claimed and given a friendly name. Info on your server is saved on the Shield and if something happens to this information, it does get treated as a new server. Not sure what would have caused this.
This used to happen a lot. Here is a topic about it, and what the solution was back then. Hasn’t happened for at least 1-2 years for me so I can’t be 100% sure this still works.
