if you original preferences.xml file is still where it was with the account info then have you restarted server? this info I mean https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/

You also need to claim it at ip:32400/web not app.plex.tv

Hi, Yes I have restarted the server, followed the link you provided but still no soup :frowning:

@rtrevino

  1. Server IP addr ? Workstation IP addr?
  2. Any VM / Container involvement?

IF:

  1. both are on the same RFC-1918 subnet
  2. Https://app.plex.tv
  3. Settings - Authorized Devices - Server (dropdown)
  4. Find the server and “X” (remove)
  5. SIGN OUT of Plex.tv (upper right of browser)
  6. Now open http://ip.addr.of.host (or http://127.0.0.1:32400/web if the same machine)
  7. Sign in & claim.
  8. Server will put itself back in the list.
