Server Version#:latest download
Player Version#:
Hello All, for the last 4 days Plex server hasn’t been working on my Mac Mini. Ive never had an issues but i noticed that it wasn’t open on the top bar. Ive then launched the app and it appears in the top bar then disappears.
im using a 2012 mac mini which has the latest catalina installed. ive restarted the mac, reinstalled plex but nothing seems to be working.
You help would be much appreciated.

This could be caused by several things, but fairly high on the list is a corrupt database. You can pretty easily check this by forcing PMS to create a new one. Try renaming your Plex data folder (temporarily) so that a new one will be created. For example, rename:
/Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server
to:
/Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server.bak
Then try to start PMS. If it works, you can move your old directory back (you’ll have to delete the newly-created one, make sure to stop PMS first) and try to repair/restore you database. These two support articles cover that:
It certainly sounds like a corrupt database
