I found an article which explains how to enable or disable the Plex server on the Shield. In this article, it says to enable or disable the Plex server by clicking on the Plex Media Server icon in settings. This is what it’s supposed to look like:

However, when I go to settings and scroll down to the line that says “Plex Media Server”, there is no icon as shown in the above photo (see photo below). What am I missing here?

I don’t know what is going on, I can see the server on my shield.  
Maybe someone here can help more.

I actually solved this myself…  
On a hunch, I went to the Plex Server app (not the Plex app) and cleared the data and cache. Voila! That fixed it.
