?! I can watch stuff locally from my Plex server even if my internet is down.
You have to disable authentication for certain ip's / local networks. It's not easy or straight forward, but it works.
Last time I had an outage, I was still watching from my roku and in the browser.

You can insert some xml in places if you're offline, but if you're offline, knowing the places is incredibly difficult.
