I tried posting a reply with a pasted image of my disk structure - I could not post regarding a problem I am having?? Now I can’t find my original post? I am not novice computer guy, this forum has serious technical issues.

Apart from the well known quote issue (my fault TBH), in the ten years I’ve been on the forum, not noticed these issues you speak of.

Did you use another ID or email to post? The one you’re using has never made any other posts

Yeah, not finding the post is ID related. But not being able to post documentation in the form of screen shots or copy and paste does not work??? I thought it was an ID problem on not finding the post but i was struggling how to change the posting ID? It picks up the ID from somewhere unrelated to my regular ID it is something in Plex and I cannot figure out how to sync my Google ID with my Plex ID. There seem to be a number of gotchas in using Plex.

Yeah, something weird happened. Your first post has the same name but didn’t have a Plex Pass marker

In any case, yes you can post images here. Either drag them from your file system into the box you’re typing or click the upload symbol.

If you hover over those symbols with your mouse pointer, it gives you a description of what they mean

Another odd issue, how do I log in to an ID that I use. The forum defaults to an ID I used to use on my Plex server? I do not see the All option that allows me to log in the forum defaults to an ID. It is an old ID I do not use anymore but Plex seems to pull it out of the registry or somewhere.

I have used forums for years and have had a number of issues in this forum I have not run into before. I do not see the All option on my posts so that I can change the ID I use to post in the forum. I am trying to sync all my IDs to my Google ID to simplify some issues with ID but Plex
seems to have different ideas about how to use IDs and changing IDs.

This might be the wrong forum for this but I am paying for Plex and I am reaching the point where I may pull the plug on my Plex efforts. It seems like a great solution but simple tasks have become unworkable or require significant research to resolve issues. At this point a complete redo would be great but scrubbing all the registry stuff to do a clean install is yet another big effort. With all due respect a better uninstall solution would be a worthwhile effort. I am sure the authors are not making a lot or anything on Plex. I would definitely be up for paying more for a less complex and simpler solution. I don’t think I have a registry snapshot before I installed Plex. My machine is a pretty powerful server so it has lots of products installed and it is used for fairly complex tasks so a redo to get a fresh install of Plex is not really worthwhile.

You appear to have two accounts. Is this you? Frustrated Cannot add Movies to Plex Server

The forums will sync up with SSO with whatever Plex account you are signed into plex.tv with. If you switch home accounts at app.plex.tv then go to forums in another window/tab it will sign the forums into that other account.

Yes, I am really struggling with Plex userids. I actually have two IDs on my Plex Server which is driving me crazy. I am not sure what is driving the second ID since I am trying to consolidate on my Google ID. It seems my browser access is being driven by some ID stored in the browser. My Plex Media Server has two IDs for the Desktop. I have uninstalled and cleaned up the registry with Revo Uninstaller then reinstalled. But still end up with two IDs??

In Chrome

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More More|Autox18.
  3. Click More tools and then|autox18 Clear browsing data.
  4. At the top, choose a time range. To delete everything, select All time.
  5. Next to “Cookies and other site data” and “Cached images and files,” check the boxes.
  6. Click Clear data.

This should sign you out of everything on that browser. Log back in using whatever main account you plan on using

Thanks. that solved my problem!
