The biggest problem with Plex (I’m a user) is that you need a network connection just to use it with your local media unless you do a little research to figure out how to bypass this.
Why is this a problem? You don’t notice it until there’s a network outage and you want to watch something. Or if the Plex servers are glitching. It’s needlessly complicating the process of watching your media.
Not really sure what you’re getting at here. I’ve had a network outage for the past 2 days and was able to watch stuff on my local NAS just fine. I haven’t done anything special to make it do that.
Yeah, one of the reasons I love plex is I don’t actually need to be connected to the internet for it to work. Just my home network. All my devices work fine when the internet goes out, which is frequently does during storm season

You must have. Plex uses their servers to login and there is a setting to not require authentication when on this subnet.

No managed users then? I’ve never had them be able to use their profile when plex is down.
Just me.
I’m old and have very few friends, heh. Especially ones who would even know what plex is
