I had issues when I installed Plex with 18.04, but I eventually got it resolved and all has been happy till recently.
I updated to 19.10 and all worked till Friday. It popped up, said there were updates to Ubuntu, I clicked install, then it said it needed a restart to happen.
That was it. No boot. Grub issue. So I go to recover, reinstall, cuss profusely, and try what I know to salvage the situation.
I thought at first the SSD that the OS was on my be the culprit. I couldn't reinstall 19.10 without it ending in a fatal error.
There for a bit it wouldn't even delete the partition.
I finally went for the minimalist install and it took. I reinstalled plex, set up the libraries, waited for the libraries to get scanned, but outside devices would see the server, (ipad, Pixel 3 on same network) but wouldn't see movies, shows or music.
So, more updating happens, restart and the plex message is "No soup for you" I, logged in as the Admin, do not have access to this server.......
It's like it's treating it as if it's not a local server. I dunno. About to throw Eby back on it.
It loses the libraries, the server, and it useless locally and from abroad.
I'm off to do research on the plex forums, after I get beer.
