Hello, I had a 64-bit CentOS 7 server with Plex Media Server installed on it. Recently I reinstalled this CentOS server and reinstalled Plex Media Server, but it did not work properly anymore. In the browser the only message that appears “Looking for servers …” and no longer loads the Plex server …

It’s a local server, standalone (physical host), it’s on my LAN. After reinstalling the CentOS 7.6.1810 operating system and Plex Media Server, this page only appears. The option to remove the old device (Settings - Devices- Server), does not appear in my settings. [image] In the (Authorized D…

Next major question: RFC-1918 compliant LAN addressing? (192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x, or 10.x.x.x)

It was all working, I just reinstalled the operating system with the same hostname, same ip addresses. But the networks are 192.168.1.x and 10.0.69.x, this server is the router, firewall, gateway and dns server of the network, in addition to being the media server.

Sign the Plex/Web out of your account. (it’s hanging on to the old Machine ID) Now, in an incognito window, open the IP of the machine directly and complete the initialization. Until init is complete, Plex/web won’t automatically find it

I accessed https://plex.tv and logged in with my account, but not found a option to remove the old server ID. Is that really the address?

Please understand: The server must be setup LOCALLY (or as if local / on the console) It must then sign into your Plex account Without both of these steps, it will not be seen in Plex/Web. Accessing through Plex.tv REQUIRES the above Accessing through the local server itself does not because it…

That’s just what I’m trying to do. Accessing the local address http://10.0.69.1:32400 , when opening the page, I login with my account and then it presents the page with the message “Looking for server …” "Where is my server? ". This server has no graphical interface, for security sake the SSH port …

Ok. Let’s do the SSH tunnel technique: Presume sshd runs on that host on the local host: ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 ip.addr.of.host -sign in- -- stop plex on that host -- -- sudo rm -f "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml" -- start plex Ret…

What do you mean by local host? Was it the Windows station? To run the ssh command on Windows station or CentOS server?
