i am not sure how @Ryuzaki_2 set up works without going into the settings and setting up the plex server to work without internet.
It would make sense to me if the phone was active and had a cellular connection and it makes sense when hooked into hotel wifi, but plex doesn’t work without an internet connection unless you do some other technical efforts. there is an entire thread on this and how to set it up.
just noting because if you put a cheap router in your car, and connect everything locally to that wifi, plex still won’t work if that router has no internet connection unless you set it up properply to work without internet.
edit: to be clear, the streams will still stream locally if you have internet. so if you had a hotspot its not like you would be using a bunch of data.
