PMS Not Accessible on same computer as server

Server Version#: 4.123.2
Player Version#:
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

I’ve been having some major issues with PMS on Windows 10 for the last week. So bad, in fact, that I’ve ordered a couple new hard drives, nvme drives, usb drive, etc, and am going to try changing over to Unraid.

I haven’t even been able to use Plex for the lst week. I’m manually copying whatever I want to watch onto a USB drive and plugging it into my Shield Pro.

Anyhow, here are the issues I’ve been having. I will “Open Plex” from the Plex icon in the system tray on the server pc. When it opens and I connect with my main user it will show “No content available” more often than not. I notice that PMS is using a high CPU % when this happens, up to 85%. Eventually it will show my libary…for a while before it decides to do the same thing. Now, even though I can see it locally sometimes, I can’t access it on any other device on my network (or outside of my network). I haven’t changed any port forwarding on my router from when everything was working smoothly. I haven’t changed any Windows firewall settings either. Everything is as it was. I did check. On https://canyouseeme.org/ I can see port 32400 no problem, which is the port I have selected in PMS. When I look at port 32400 using netstat on my server pc, I see a bunch of entries, 127.0.0.1(various ports), my server external pc address(various ports), my server internal IP adress(various ports) with TIME_WAIT, ESTABLISHED, FIN_WAIT_2, LISTENING. The last 3 entries are ESTABLISHED, ESTABLISHED, LISTENING. I don’t know a whole lot about netstat other than how to run it from cmd.

I just downloaded Plex Dash onto my phone and I can see the server logs being generated live, even when I can’t see anything on Plex from the server itself (http://127.0.0.1:32400/ on that pc)…it shows “No content available” with error triangles for all of the libraries. One of the log entries is: 31 threads are waiting on db connections held by threads: 7012, 2328, 30524, 1960, 9928, 21116, 3560, 1052, …, but there are a lot of log lines being generated.

Not sure how to just get debug only logs from Plex Dash, I do know how from the server, but that isn’t an option right, until it decides to let me for a few minutes.

Not sure where to go from here either. :wink:

Thanks.

Edit to add that I have tried rebooting the machine multiple times and shut down and restarted PMS multiple times.

You can get the full server logs right from the file system (see 2nd part of the linked support article).
