I had plex server running perfectly on a 2015 iMac but I noticed that the Mac Player was upgrade to 1.19 so I downloaded and installed it but it refused to fully load (no window appeared). I could run V1.8 on another mac and see the server etc. I thought perhaps I needed to update the server which I did but the Mac Player app still wouldn’t run. I retrieved an older 1.8 version which did run but the the recordings failed with a transcode error (I don’t consciously transcode anything as digital tv is mp4 in australia (inside a TS container).
So I tried various older versions retrieved using time machine and now whilst the server seems to load and all the desktop and web apps all load they don’t seem to access the server and the players all say “your home screen is empty” and when I try to access the general server settings it says the server settings are unavailable. None of my many TV show are listed either (they are all still present on the HD.
The last effort was to go back in time machine and replace Plex, Plex Media Server, and the Plex and Plex Media Server folders and apps from the 1 April when everything was working perfectly but had the same outcome.
Please can anyone offer a solution to this?
Server Version#:1.19.1
Player Version#:1.8.2.1192, 1.9.0.118
