Plex not working after power outage

Plex Media Server
41

So when it tells me if I want to create a new server I do?

42

Screenshot please?

EDIT:

Plex.tv sees your server again attached to your account:

CREATED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO 
LAST SEEN 1 MINUTE AGO
43

Didn’t ask actually, it shows this (my actual libraries):

You’re still in the incogito window? If yes, it will do this.

This is the Plex/web browser setting itself up.

Nothing will be remembered – “FINISH” i

You can now close the window and reopen the browser normally.

45

Oh my god, it’s fixed! I can’t thank you enough, you have no idea how grateful I am!

46

Check all your settings – be 100% certain :slight_smile:

47

So it seems to be transcoding when using the web player, which is kind of strange


48

It depends on the media.

Browsers usually only accept AAC audio.
Some browsers allow HEVC but others do not.

Settings - Server - Transcoder - Show Advanced

This will let you confirm what should be.

I’ll try on my TV, give me a sec

Yes! Everything is working properly then! I do have one last question if you would be so kind: I’m having trouble updating the server version, because everytime I download it, it tells me that the same package is available through the Ubuntu software store, but I can’t upload it from there either


51

Because you’re using the one from plex.tv/downloads – IGNORE the ubuntu store.

What we did here (remove the ubuntu store package) should quiet that update notification.

PMS telling you there is an update available – That happens almost constantly.

The version you’re on is VERY stable. For now, I recommend staying with it.

Settings - Server - General

Make certain you’re set to Public.

When you do decide to update

  1. Download from plex.tv/downloads
  2. The file will end up in your Downloads directory
  3. From the Terminal window:
cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i  plexmediaserver_X.XX.XX.XXXX-*.deb

Substitute the real version number for the “X” above.

You’ll see the installer run

Thank you soooo much! You’ve been a lifesaver

Here is my test machine. Ignore the warning :slight_smile:
