Version 1.25.6.5577 Plex crashing and other issues. I thought it was Windows 11 so I went back to windows 10. Same issue. Also when the service was having authentication issues I can’t log into my plex server even when I use 127.0.0.1:32400 (I can’t believe I can’t use a local login. WTF). Settings are not being saved. I keep selecting sigh in automatically and when I check back I have to sign in again and the option is no longer checked. even when I set up networks that do not require sign-in I still have to sign in or use a pin to authenticate. It seems the more commercial the program gets the more the quality diminishes. I just paid for Life long membership and Im feeling like that might have been an error on my part. ---

Alternatively, use Plex for Windows instead of the web browser to interact with your server. ---

This prevents outside users from being able to just connect to the server and browse everything. Even if remote access is off, it still uses authentication to verify who is “allowed” to view your server’s content. If you want to disable that, you can. You need to tell each client to allow “insecure connections”. This means that if authentication cannot be done, they may try to connect to … ---
