Plex Media Server Options Missing From Nvidia Shield Plex App Settings Screen

Server Version#: 1.40.4.8679 (smb)
Player Version#: 10.18.0.968

Trying to setup Plex Media Server on my Nvidia Shield yet when wanting to change the storage location under “Settings > Plex Media Server” I don’t have the row called “Plex Media Server”. Can you guys please look into this and fix it

I’ve got the same problem

Goto Hardwaresetup/Storage/Hardwarestorage, here is you internal and USB Storage.
Made it together a one internal storage.

Then goto Setup/ Apps/ Systemapps/ Plex Media Server and switch to internal (user).

Also you can check this:

Doesn’t work, Plex ignores the adopted USB storage and still uses and fills up the integrated/internal storage.

Requires developer option and also doesn’t work, it breaks Plex.

That’s mine. It was apparently a permissions issue with my profile (missing crown on the profile picture). @bernardoghazi fixed it (thank you!), but ~2 months later PMS broke again and the options/settings underneath “Settings > Plex Media Server” disappeared (different from my original, rarer issue, where the entire “Plex Media Server” row including the “Plex Media Server” heading disappeared). Reinstalled PMS, issue persisted. Removed PIN, options/settings reappeared but PMS stopped after changing storage location. Restarted Shield, PMS resumed but options/settings disappeared again. Reconfigured PIN, options/settings reappeared.

Do you not have the entire row including the “Plex Media Server” heading or only the options/settings underneath it? If the former, set/remove a/the PIN, otherwise check my reply above.
