Plex Media Server no longer in Network Location or accessible by TV after update
I updated the Plex Media Server several days ago to version 1.21.0 and since then I can no longer see the Plex Server icon in my Network Locations in Windows File Explorer. I also cannot see the Plex Server in the list of devices on my TV which is connected to my home network via a switch. Any help would be appreciated.

It did yesterday but I have rebooted since then. Now I get:
This site can’t be reached
192.168.1.103 refused to connect.

reinstall plex qpkg and test again
you can always check the plex logs to see if there is startup issues

I did a manual install of PlexMediaServer-1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9-x86_64.qpkg and now I can click Open on the Plex Server in the App Center and the page opens but I get the following message:
Media not found.
The media you're trying to access doesn't seem to exist.

UPDATE:
After waiting a few minutes, the media show up in the Web UI, but the Plex Server still does not appear in my Network Locations

Yes, I just retried and I can play my media in the web player. I also rebooted the NAS again but this didn't appear to make a difference. I also enabled remote access in Plex and this also didn't seem to do anything as far as seeing Plex in my Network Locations or from network attached devices.

Re: Plex Media Server no longer in Network Location or accessible by TV after update
any issues visible in the logs ?
the plex forums might be a better bet
make sure upnp is off in your router..big security risk (opening ports by any device on your lan)
also the router wouldn't come into play on lan2lan connections
