1. it takes a bit of preparation: [[HowTo] Use Plex with No Internet](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-use-plex-with-no-internet/383325/1) Normally though, running clients should survive a few days of internetr outage.
2. some smart tv Plex clients are not installed on the device. Only a “loader app” is installed, which then loads the actual Plex client from the internet each time it is started.  
It is clear that this must fail in the case of an internet outage.
