Server Version#: 1.41.1.9057

Hi there,

So I did it, I moved my server from my WD PR4100 to a dedicated HW, Everthing’s ok, Libraries are up and populated, previous Plex server is unconnected from my Plex account and switched off, new one is connected to my plex pass account. I have several “managed” accounts and some “friends” accounts.

The status :

- Connected locally to the (new) server with a browser → everything works

- Connected remotely to app.plex.tv → everything works

Now it’s the big mess with the connected apps : I have smartphone apps, smart tv’s, android tv, etc that were connected to previous server, and still show the “managed” accounts list at launch. But it looks like al those apps/accounts try to connect previous server.

**So simple question, how do I disconnect those apps from old server and reconnect to new one ?**

Thanks

There’s a few apps that allow configuring a direct connection, where you specify the server’s IP address. Usually you don’t need that. If your client is signed into the same Plex account, they should also see/connect to the (new) server.

If the new server isn’t showing, please check the `More` section in the client app’s sidebar. It could be the new server’s library aren’t currently pinned to the sidebar.

Hi Tom,  
I investigated client side, and found on the Android and Android TV app, clearing cache did force a reconnection to the new server. Downside, I have no idea how to clear cash on a smart TV …

After reconnection (on android devices), I was able to stream locally and remotely for a while, and then it stopped working. I can now connect to the webGUI, but launching a video drives to the “Something went wrong, retry” screen … I’ll open a new thread for this problem.

[Edit] Found it (about the “something went wrong” problem) : My LXC’s RAM/volume/swap was too small.
