How do i this? use PMS offline and work with any PMP without authentication.
Also, i can still access PMS Settings.
OFFLINE I need offline setup with latest version.
sorry, it’s not really clear what you’re looking/asking for.
Your PlexPass will NEVER work offline.
You can figure out how to run without authentication pretty easy but Plex Pass feature flag must come from the plex.tv service
So, is there a way to use PMS, as an offline server
Not really, no.
sad… we were going to install this on yachts
What about non-plex pass versions?

There is no such thing as a non-plex pass version.
All versions are the same. Plex pass merely activates some features which are already present in the code.
let me see what i can do with this to enable offline server…

There is no harm contacting the folks at HQ (plex.tv/contact). If it’s important enough, They might be able to give you what you need for those systems. The only way to know is to reach out and ask them
Here’s a question. If you did setup a server and had all your media already prepped(all metadata download while online) and did not have fast user switching could you then use plex offline.
I mean, at that point all has been setup and all you want to do is play your content. Maybe turn the auth requirement off and using it on the same network. Could that be possible?

Yes. I described that exact scenario in my link above.

lol. Cool. didn’t know… that comment is real old and wasn’t sure that would apply today. Thanks.
If you are prepared you can force it to work, sort of, but it’s quite restrictive as Otto pointed out. Limited client availability and everyone essentially shares the admin account. The server and the clients need to be adjusted to work in this environment.
The best/easiest thing to do is TRY IT. Do a dry run BEFORE you ever actually need to run it this way so you are prepared and know exactly what changes and clients (or just use the web) are needed.
It can certainly be done, but the results may or may not work for you and your family. While many people absolutely always want to use Plex, some people keep a standby or backup ready to use as well such as Kodi or Emby and have them ready if needed.
There is no simple answer that will be a fit for everyone as needs will vary slightly from person to person.
To borrow the Boy Scout Motto “Be Prepared”!

Takes you to this page. You request information / need assistance outside a normal user scenario. You’re requesting something custom. It is my understanding, based on what you said, you have sufficient use-case uniqueness to merit direct contact with the sales team
