The only time I have seen this is when media has been added in a flat directory structure. I believe its plex trying to save the library setting and as everything is flat it causes a timeout or some other type of failure.

So, I’d start by letting us know how your media is structured in the library you are trying to save. If everything is indeed flat then I’d suggest you review these documents and renaming your media to conform to what plex expects…

If I may add?

“Unable to save settings” is directly tied to inability to communicate with Plex.tv .

In the log files. confirm there are no DNS lookup failures.  
If unsure what to check, you may download the [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) ZIP file and attach here.
