Mine is spotty. When I click on Plex opening page it spins for a longtime and nothing happens. If I click on the library contents it shows me what is there. I did a port check and 32400 is open. Remote access is available. The only problem is it shows no remote access in red. ---

Looks like plex.tv is resolving to a loopback via DNS publically. ---

Plexweb is back here in West Virginia. Remote Access and Local access never stopped, but all Desktop activities were squished flat. ---

Due to the worldwide events, the demands on Plex.tv are above all previous records. The operations team is increasing capacity to meet the demands. ---

That’s so boring to use a local solution that needs a connexion to Internet to enable streaming from your PC to your TV apart from 5 meters ! Why Kodi is not supported on Smart TV ! Damn ---

What we’re all seeing is the sudden surge as 1. People are now staying in their homes. 2. They don’t have local servers -or- 3. They don’t have anything new to watch (locally or on the other services) 4. They turned to Plex’s streaming video service. 5. Demand for streaming went through the roof. ---

As a Plexer - and not exactly glued to the TV News… I went to the Food Lion the other day to get a few things only to find out Food Lion didn’t HAVE A FEW THINGS! This must be what Food Lion looked like during The Civil War. No Toilet Paper - I would use Wonder Bread, but there’s none of that either. I got 2 boxes of surgical gloves and some Prunes and came home. Now, Plex goes down? What irony. 😃 ---

At least that means people are doing the right thing. Staying home and safe. Share the access, not the couch ! 😷 👍 [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-tv-is-down-again/559146.md?page=2)
