I’m not sure what to do here, I’ve been running PMS on a raspberry Pi 4 for about two years now, never had any issues. Now all of a sudden, it’s not running, the Plex apps I use won’t connect, and the localhost refuses to connect when I try to open Plex Web on the Pi the server is running on. If I need to include some logging info or anything, let me know what is needed and I will provide it. I’ve never had any issues, so I’m new at having problems. lol
I ran sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver
and got this output.

If you run “journalctl | grep plexmediaserver.service” it should give you more details of the failure, feel free to post the output here
The output of that gave me

I figured out the issue. There’s a problem with the latest PMS version, I posted on Reddit, and someone told me to downgrade back to the previous version until it’s resolved, and that fixed the issue
