[https://status.plex.tv/](https://status.plex.tv/) was briefly showing a major outage for plex.tv authentication, but is now showing operational… but it isn’t working for me! I’m just getting the cached home user for the web interface. On the plus side, it is good to see the offline mode working in the preview Roku app! ---

Yep - Plex status keeps going back and forth between “operational” and “major outage” for authentication. ---

I had this problem for well over an hour. The worst part is that I couldn’t access the server directly within my local network. The second worst part is that there’s no easy way to report the issue, especially since I was unable to log into the forum due to the API having issues. ---

I really wish they made it so that we can just run Plex offline without the need to use the Plex login servers for user switching. This seems like an easy thing to implement especially for those of us in snowy areas or prone to internet outages. ---
