Plex library not showing up on side bar menu

Server Version#:4.113.2
Player Version#: web player - not sure of version

I’ve been using Plex for about a year. Today, my media library is missing. How can I get it back?
Thank you.

I had to use a recovery code from email. My 2 way authentication did not work.

It looks like i need to reclaim my server. I downloaded the Claim PMS file. I entered my credentials but it comes back status code unauthorized? I left the 2 way authentification blank.

see You need to reclaim your server, but don't dare to touch the Windows Registry

OK, I reclaimed it successfully using the tool. But my media is still not showing up.

Use Method 2.2 and don’t use the tool. Instead, use the “claim PMS file” as before.
If you are on a Windows Server edition, see Plex install fix for Windows Server (Claim issue)

ok i opened the notepad file and it was successful. I opened plex and signed in again. I went to the link in your message but my bowser would not open it. (Edge)

What message? My post above? That is on the same forum as this thread.

Should I reinstall the plex media software? Will I lose any data?

My links above do not point to 127.0.0.1
Whatever is happening there, it is highly irregular.
Remove the s from https

I removed the S from https. Still don’t have access to my media.
My current status is claimed, but I don’t have my media.
What should I do?
Thank you.

Should I reinstall the media server?

Reinstalling Plex server won’t change anything.
Though I am unsure what you are actually experiencing.
You said above that you cannot look at the address Plex install fix for Windows Server (Claim issue)
or did I misunderstand something?

OK, let’s start over. When i log into Plex, I no longer have my media. This is what I see.

I can look at the address http://127.0.0.1:32400 (screenshot)

I log into plex, but my media is missing.
I have successfully claimed my database using the ClaimPMSwin tool.

I have successfully merged the notepad file that you recommended earlier.

I have logged in and out several times.

Not sure what else I can do?
Thank you.

here’s my notepad file: do i want the first line in the file? (windows registry editor version 5)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server\PlexOnlineHome]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server\PlexOnlineMail]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server\PlexOnlineUsername]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server\PlexOnlineToken]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server\PreferredNetworkInterface]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server]
“PublishServerOnPlexOnlineKey”=dword:00000001
“ManualPortMappingMode”=dword:00000000
“LogVerbose”=dword:00000000
“secureConnections”=dword:00000001

Don’t use that.

Definitely, or else the file won’t work.

I had to reinstall win10.
