November 8, 20232 yr I made a video to illustrate what is going on with a basic new plex install for me: Plex Issues - Media Shares Disappear After Refresh - YouTube I install plex on unraid with basic settings. I set my media folder and transcode folder and name the server and that is it. I start the docker and using putty, Im accessing the localhost of my plex server. I did not insert a plex claim key. This is where the video starts. Everything works as intended at first. Ive added media to my movies folder in another test and it shows up and I can even start playback. Everything works fine.. until I refresh the page. At that point, all my shares disappear, the share I was on says not authorized, and its advising me to download plex media server ignoring that Im literally on Plex media server. Before I hit Refresh on the page, other devices can see the shares as well. Ive tried the other repos with similar results as well. My other devices can see the shares before I hit refresh but the disappear as well after. Ive also tried using the plex claim key in the initial setup. When I have the key in, im asked to sign in like normal except afterwards, I got the not authorized page instead of the normal server setup prompts. Each time I retry, I uninstall the docker and delete the app data folder so make sure its a fresh restart. If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it. Ive been going through this for a week and its driving me insane.
