Plex setup

[smoore]

Hi All

I'm at the final stage of YAMS configuration, and trying to set Plex up.

I can't seem to be able to connect to the server, that I know is running because I'm logged in to it!

Connecting to Plex using firefox directly from the YAMS machine and logging in with my plex account just shows my existing plex server which is on another machine on the same network.

Even if I shut that machine down the plex setup won't let me connect to the new server.

I've probably not explained myself well, but I'm probably doing something wrong somewhere - any idea?

Many thanks,

Simon

Hey @smoore!

Did you follow the first steps on the Plex configuration? Plex is kinda tricky to configure the first time https://yams.media/config/plex/#first-steps

Cheers!

Roger.

Hi Roger

Yes I tried that but at no point do I get the screen where I setup the server.

And somehow I've done something that now means nobody can connect to my existing Plex server so need to get that sorted quickly before family start complaining!

And now my Plex library is back online without me doing anything!

Maybe I should think about Jellyfish while I'm testing stuff out so I don't disrupt my current Plex setup?

To be honest, if you can, just ditch Plex. Jellyfin is way better and Plex keeps getting into trouble with the community.
