I can never go back, I can see why torrenting is so popular in Canada (sh.itjust.works)

I’m not sure why you think that’s the case. I use Plex entirely locally and have never had an issue when the internet was out. In fact my modem went kaput last year and I had a solid 2 days without internet connection. Plex didn’t even blink. The only thing I couldn’t access was Actor/Crew individual pages, as those don’t store metadata locally and are fetched on demand by the client.

I’m pretty sure that if you had not already been signed in, you would not have been able to use it. As the login page requires an internet connection.

so your issue is not that you can’t access the server offline, it’s that you can’t log in while offline?

i have never needed to log in locally since the initial setup. it can also broadcast as a DLNA server which would be trivial to access without authentication.

you’re very opinionated for someone who is totally clueless on the subject.
