Hi, I have a Plex Media Server running successfully on a MacMini. I want to run another media server on another MacMini dedicated to music (the Mac is hooked up to my speakers). I installed Plex Media Server on this second MacMini but I do not get the option to set up libraries. When I try that it tells me to install Plex Media Server! What can I do?
