Server Version#:v.1.41.3.9292-bc7397402 Player Version#: <If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled> Hi. Tried to relocate an existing, working Win deployment to a Mac mini. Plexpass lifetime on the account. This relocation process fai…

Yeah, I’ve tried this claiming thing ad-nauseum. I think unfortunately plex has reached the end of its’ usefulness Pivoted to another platform and I was up and running inside an hour. I should have cut anchor sooner. Not as polished and I’m not seeing comm skip feature but so far everything work…

@illegalgardener Deleting your Plex account should never be needed. Using Chuck’s claim tool and providing your server logs would have allowed us to troubleshoot. Without that info its hard to provide any specific information beyond the troubleshooting guides.

Don’t try anything too drastic. PMS for Mac has a couple of quirks that you ran into. I’m sorry that you went so far as fresh install of Sequoia, but it’s for the better I’m sure. Here’s what you can do to fix your problem and have a nice weekend: (I just tried it) Use delpms.sh to completely re…

Thank you, going to give this a shot tonight!!

Sounds good. I did get the spinner and had to use 127.0.0.1 manually and am fairly confident the careful set of steps will get you up. There were a couple of versions of Safari they fixed it fwiw :smiley:

[image] illegalgardener: only have the text file, I completely understand, that is why I asked about providing a zip of the server logs quite often you need to bounce between several log files to get a good picture of what is going on. Log excerpts tend to no contain the needed info.

My bad, it’s easy to glaze over details when I’m frustrated. You guys owe me nothing, so I just wanted to point out how grateful I am to have your support. Will revisit after a beer or three.

Hey- I looked at the Chuck thing more carefully and realized I can take a swing with it in Mac. Just followed the instructions best I could and got the following: Last login: Mon Dec 16 07:39:47 on ttys000 redacted username ~ % sudo sh Password: sh-3.2# chmod +x /Users/Shared/UserCredentialRese…
