Server Version#: Can’t says for sure, don’t have access to my server (certainly the latest version) Player Version#: Same. Can’t provide any logs, because again I don’t have access to my server. Fun fact, I do have access to front end, the plex home page, but I have an saying my server isn’t accessible. Even funnier, my server does run on the same server as the front end. So how can I solve this, and why do Plex dev’s don’t make an offline services ! ---

Update, the landing page / front end, was accessible through my share connection, but after testing without it. I can’t even have access to it. Most likely, the front end is online and won’t access to my server. very interesting design ! ---

Hi, no I did, but I’ve disable the option “_allow insecure connection_”, and " _List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth_ " do not work without “_allow insecure connection_” And right now, without any access to my server I can’t make the change ! My Nvidia Shield, have access though, Plex do take one minute to connect, but it work. These computer and my Shield are on the same network. ---

On Linux distros – 1. Stop PMS 2. Edit Preferences.xml 3. Manually add the preference and value, e.g. ```auto allowedNetworks="192.168.0.0,255.255.255.0" ``` This allows my 192.168.0.x , netmask 255.255.255.0, to connect without auth. 1. Save the file 2. Start PMS ---

As I’ve said, my network is already on connection without auth list. Problem “solved”, my internet outage is fixed, I can connect to my server now. But it would be a great idea to have an option for local account, I will investigate other solution. AKA Jellyfin, for a paying service Plex has to much limitation. There is a web player that can be played localy ? Without any internet connection ? And I won’t speak about all the problem with resolution in remote play, web player or apps. ---
