Due to the recent problems with SAMSUNG TVs, plex.tv-Logins, etc. I wonder, if there could be a real offline (without internet) mode. I only use Plex on Samsung, Windows, iPhone and iPad at home and do not have any sharing with friends. So I really do not need a Login on plex.tv every time. O.k., i…

local network direct connection does work but i believe features only available for Plex Pass users would need plex.tv authentication and validation of Plex Pass subscription. If you do not need Plex Pass subscription features then you can currently use the Plex for Samsung app directly (Manual Con…

i don’t think so. if plex.tv is down, e.g. Today more than one time, I was not able to Login to the normal webinterface with Lokal ip via Browser. So I think, currently, there is always a First Check to plex.tv . Same yesterday evening.

Thanks for the extra info sa200, I guess in theory it looks like it should have worked with the plex.tv site down but in reality it didnt. Cheers Rob.

I also find this frustrating. One large reason I use plex is so I can use it when my internet goes down. Well my android devices and Plex app do not seem to work with my chromecast when plex.tv is offline. Mind you, my chromecast requires an internet connection to work regardless… but I could alw…

I’ve “liked” the original post in this thread but I’ll just put this here to be clear: I’d love very much to be able to use Plex within my household when I don’t have access to an internet connection. Our connection is fairly unstable here and when it goes down is when we’d like to be able to use …
