This question has being raised in the public part of the forum. I hope that by pushing it in the Plex Pass forum, we can get some attention.
I received a login screen that requested me to login with Google/Facebook or emails but it is looing endlessly. On the same PC, I can log in using the Plex Media Player. Applications on iPad, Android and Samsung TV are working fine.
Using other browsers (IE or Firefox) is sometimes not working (status.plex.tv is showing all status green).
Strange enough, when I log in on plex.tv using Edge and click on the launch button it is working but I have an indirect connection to my local server.
I am running Plex 1.9.5.4339 on a Ubuntu 14.04.05.

That is a separate issue and it has to do with the integrated ‘DNS rebinding’ protection in Edge.
It somehow detects Plex’s use of DNS as a ‘rebinding attack’ (when it truly is not.
Microsoft was informed about the issue but has not done anything about it yet.
The only thing you can do is to either:
Don’t use Edge but a different web browser to access content on a Plex server in the same local network
Thanks @m3xiz for posting here. I had started a discussion on the public forum and I was going to raise it here. The odd thing is Edge had been working fine for a long time. I’m thinking this started after the Fall Creators Update. It is a bit of an inconvenience running multiple browsers just so certain things will work, but I guess it will have to do for now.
