Hi, I am without internet connection. Tried to login into my Plex App, using a Samsung 2022 TV, and I am getting a “Check your internet connection…” dead end. Is this happening? Is there a way yo bypass this? Server is literally running 1 meter away from the telly, connected by UTP.

Hi, I can still connect to my local plex server using my roku with no Internet service. Should this change in future versions, I won´t be using plex anymore. This is really a game changer.

I believe most smart tv apps are web based apps which is to say they do not load without an interent connection RE: Samsung TV

Hi, thanks all for the replies. OK, I’ve asked for a “bypass” way, and this certainly applies. Awkwardly, in my current situation I have limited or no mobile coverage. So, I guess I am stuck until the intenet service is back. As @julianva mentioned above, this does not apply in all scenarios. Mine …

After reading this discussion, it has come to mind after some good normal solutions. HDMI connection, if your server is so close to your TV, a direct Tv link to your files in a outage, would that be a solution for you.

Hi @SE56 yes, that could be another way to handle this. Unfortunately mine is a headless server. Nevertheless I think this is a very basic feature it should be natively implemented in all apps.

Yesterday late night Internet finally got back after more than one week outage. (the Festivus Miracle!) Finally I could login and enjoy Plex from the telly again. The lesson has been learned. For me, this represent a pivot point. Thanks everyone and have a nice holiday season.
