Server Version#1.67 New PC and trying to get access to my media again. Installed Plex server but when I go to “your media” to add my local folders it just takes me to a page saying “download Plex Media Server.” I can’t find a way out of this loop. Help please! ---

Were you given the option to claim the server? You have no option to add any media or you have the option it’s just not finding your files? You can try to use this. It will unclaim and reclaim the server if that’s where you’re hung up > [@You need to reclaim your server, but don't dare to touch the Windows Registry](https://forums.plex.tv/t/you-need-to-reclaim-your-server-but-dont-dare-to-touch-the-windows-registry/809720/1): > > Warning: During these steps your Windows Plex server will be removed from any plex.tv account it has been connected to.

no option offered to reclaim server. The server I have installed has all the online options just when I try and add the local stuff it prompts to download the media server - which is what I am using in the first place. I’ll try the unclaim reclaim thing ---

Which inexplicably worked - definitely don’t see the logic in why it did 🙂 Thanks for the help ---

Ok good. A couple things as you add the libraries. Under **settings –\> library** You should switch these to “as a scheduled task” or just turn them off If you have a large amount of media this will take forever to scan ![Screenshot (1000)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/d/2/0/d20d829287401c60c09fd9e6a0f3d51fbfca556e.png) Also, when you create the library go into the advanced menu and choose TVDB if you prefer to name your shows according to that database. TMDB is the default. That way you don’t have to add everything then refresh the metadata again after everything is done scanning ![Screenshot (1001)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/b/0/3/b038f99941d7ff63102ae8f54398b1ffc3ecaa16.png) You may already know this if you’re not a new user, just thought I’d mention it ---
