This removed the old plexmediaserver-installer and installed plexmediaserver but plex stopped working :frowning:

sudo apt remove plexmediaserver-installer

I tried to go to https://www.plex.tv/desktop and it didn’t work so I thought that something was wrong, I just forgot to go to my local ip and setup plex first.
