People are starting to complain over on reddit and I’m having issues to login through the app. This afternoon some of my users were seeing my server as offline while I was able to access it from the outside without issue.
What gives? Having issues again?
This is the problem with the reliance of Plex.tv as a gateway for all Plex services local and remote. As ‘easy’ as it can make things, it is a double-edged sword…
Same - “Media not found”! The entire reason I’m not with the streaming providers to is separate my media from the internet. It now seems that Plex has connected us, so when they fail, we fail. OK, Plex - put it back, so I don’t need your connections. Thank you!!!
Yeah…same thing…2nd or 3rd time within the past month. This is poor design, as locally you can’t access your media. Wish there was an alternative that met my needs…
They do seem to be failing ALOT lately. And it seems that their reporting system states that there are no outages/issues…seems like they need a lot of help at the moment.
What bothers me the most is the complete silence they make every time the service is down. I bet it is a top-down order. I like the app, I like helping people here, but after more than a year paying, I’m switching to the free version while I search for alternatives.
Yeah that’s what bothers me. I made it a point of creating a post in their forums every time there’s a problem on their Auth servers. It’s the second this month I believe. I didn’t get an official reply on the other, or on this one.
Then I get blog posts where nothing is acknowledged. What the heck. At least a “ahum, yeah we don’t know, we’re working on it” would be something.

I’m satisfied with ‘■■■■ Happens’.
■■■■ is always happening to me.
Plex ain’t no different…
Tempered by the fact that no outage yet has stopped me from watching whatever I want locally on one of my ‘Devices’…
Server/Settings/Network
Preferred - not Required or Disabled
Every Client:
Fallback to insecure on local network only
That means - when the internet goes out (frequently) or Plex goes down (infrequently) I still go on watching.
Plexweb is dead - but I don’t watch stuff with Plexweb.
