Plex connects but won’t add.

Hi everyone.

Need some help here please, while setting up gaps on windows I successfully test the connection to plex but when I click on add it’s gives an error it can’t add and I must check the settings. Any ideas ?

What I did and not sure what worked was.. Ensure I was using Java 11 (as I had the latest 17).
Create the usr etc folders in c:\ and J:\ . I had the program in J: on my server. I created a blank properties file.
the YAML file didn't seem to make any difference as was pointing to the correct folder on J:

it then worked.

As an added extra I used NSSM to set a service so that it starts if I reboot the server.

Dropping to Java 11 did the trick. Thank you so much again was driving me insane for two days. On Sun, 30 Jan 2022 at 11:38, Rocknrolldoggie ***@***.***> wrote:

I have tried to create the gaps.properties file and have used java 18 and 11 like someone did above. Same error about saving the config. It says to review the logs, but I don't see any logs other than the output in the cli window.

So I tried a few solutions in #308 and #289 and finally came right so I decided to compile a guide.
