There’s apparently a Plex outage currently. And it’s a bit frustrating as it’s preventing our TV app from connecting. Just an endless spinner after choosing a user despite only using local media etc.

Here is the solution you are looking for: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200890058-authentication-for-local-network-access/

Basically you can add IPs (such as your local domain) to bypass authentication. The only caveat is that you must be online when you set this. IE: You can’t do it during an outage.

Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy (“How do I find X show?” or “Where can I download Y film?”)will be removed. For further clarification see this post
