Re-installed Plex- Not authorized You do not have access to this server

SSH tunnel does not “hang” unless there is a connectivity issue.

When you claim the server

curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:32400/myplex/claim?token=PASTE_TOKEN_HERE'

It will take 15-30 seconds for PMS and Plex.tv to handshake and establish new credentials. curl will wait until PMS replies.

When PMS is complete with its Plex.tv exchange, you will get

  1. An error code
    -or-
  2. A block of XML flags. ( These are your account feature flags )

This is predicated on previously clearing out PlexOnlineUsername, PlexOnlineMail, PlexOnlineToken, and PlexOnlineHome from Preferences.xml (with PMS stopped while editing)
