Plex library suddenly not showing despite working yesterday and no system changes

I seem to be back up and working (for now).

  1. Stopped the PMS
  2. Removed authorisation for the server
  3. Manually edited the Preferences.xml file and removed the following:
    a) PlexOnlineToken
    b) PlexOnlineUsername
    c) PlexOnlineMail
    d) PlexOnlineHome
    e) secureConnections
    f) AcceptedEULA
    g) PubSubServer
    h) PubSubServerPing
    i) PubSubServerRegion
  4. Ran the UserCredentialReset script to claim the server
  5. Opened localhost:32400 and confirmed it was running correctly again.

Like I’ve said all along issue is with Plex not my system setup. No system changes, only Plex config.
