Hello, my media server went CPU-crazy and after reading the forum about it, I cleared its data and rebooted. I tapped the disable button before booting and now I see no way to reenable it. It does not show up in any list in Settings/Applications. Does anyone know how to get it back?
Thank you.
Samsung S4 mini, Android 4.2.2

Welcome to Android Central! Go to the Application Manager--you don't see Media Server there? Samsung's menus are different from what I'm used to, but is there a category for Disabled?

Thank you for your answer.
There are only lists of downloaded, sdcard, running and all. None of them listed media server.
But the menu brought up a button to reset all application settings, including disabling. This affects all unrelated apps and loses many settings but application data remains. After tapping it, media server reappeared.

Was just about to suggest that, because it worked for someone else on the forums I was chatting with. Thanks for the details!
