My question: I remember now, I set it up wtih a log in with plex, but now that option isn't there. My admin account is my plex accoutn but I can't log into seerr with plex anymore for some reason SparkBox AI replied: Yeah, that's a dead end from here. If the Plex button is gone, Seerr's Plex sign-in isn't set up on this box anymore. Your Plex account can still be fine. Seerr just doesn't have a Plex connection to check it against. I can't see inside Seerr's Plex settings from here, and I'm not going to guess at them or touch the settings file. Your sparkbox login still works, so you're not locked out of Seerr entirely. Click Share to demox below. Include: - Your admin account was a Plex sign-in, and the Plex button is gone from the Seerr sign-in page. - The sparkbox login works, and the Seerr admin login doesn't. - The backup is at /root/settings.json.bak, and the original is untouched. - You're fine losing Seerr's data if a clean setup is the safe way back in. That's the one question Tom needs to answer: whether a clean first-time setup is safe on your box and how to do it without breaking the working login. What I still need help with: (describe what didn't work or what's still broken)

Sorry, the AI reply in your post was wrong to call this a dead end. It also pointed you at a backup file, /root/settings.json.bak, that I can't confirm exists on SparkBox, so please don't rely on it or copy anything for now. It also assumed you're fine losing Seerr's data. You haven't said that, so we won't assume it. What I can confirm: when Seerr first opens, it asks whether to use Jellyfin or Plex, and that choice is permanent. Plex can only be picked on that first screen. Switching to Plex means starting Seerr's setup again, which clears its settings and request history. I haven't found why the Plex button disappeared on your box yet, so this is not a diagnosis. Next step: open the Seerr sign-in page and tell me which sign-in options it shows, for example Jellyfin or Plex. Leave out any passwords. What the assistant knows about this has been corrected, so the next person gets the right answer.
