Shared libraries not visible to friends despite Remote Access being green

Server Version#:1.41.8.9834

Hi all,

I’m running into a persistent issue with my Plex Media Server and sharing libraries with friends/family.

  • I have Plex Pass.

  • My server is called PLEX2.

  • It is claimed and signed in under my Plex account.

  • Remote Access is green / fully accessible outside my network.

  • Libraries (Films, TV Programmes, Documentaries, Stand-Up) are fully indexed and playable locally.

The problem:

  • When I share libraries with friends, they can see my server name and library names under Manage Library Access.

  • However, when they log into app.plex.tv, there is no server dropdown. They only see Plex’s streaming menus (Discover, Watchlist, etc.) and the shared libraries are empty.

  • Even on my own Plex account, sometimes the server dropdown does not appear at app.plex.tv, same issue.

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Removed and re-claimed the server.

  • Revoked and re-invited Friends several times.

  • Renamed the server.

  • Cleared cookies/cache (plex.tv + app.plex.tv).

  • Tested with multiple accounts → all have the same issue.

At this point it feels like my server isn’t being published correctly to Plex’s cloud, even though it’s claimed and Remote Access works fine.

Question:
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to “reset” or force Plex to re-sync my server in the backend so it reliably appears in Plex Web for me and my Friends?

Thanks in advance!

Paul
