Server Version#: 1.25.6.5545-c8bd13540 To preface this, yes, I realise plex.tv is currently having issues, that’s why I am creating this topic :slight_smile: Every time plex.tv has issues, I am unable to access my local Plex library which is running off of a local server. When I head on over to ‘…

Not really a problem in my case! I live alone, the bachelor life is the life for me :smiley: When family visits, they don’t use Plex, and I have remote access disabled.

There’s an existing feature suggestion to implement functionality to address this problem (local auth). If you haven’t already, I’d suggest voting over there. [image] [Feature-Request] Built in local authentication server (prevent plex.tv outage) Feature Suggestions I wo…
