This is provably what I would have needed. But since I couldn’t log in, I couldn’t do anything.
Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April
kieron115@startrek.website 3 weeks agoi’m not sure why it would do this, i’ve never had any issues with watching plex while the internet is down (in fact that was one of my original uses for it, to have movies and tv in a building without internet). I don’t have it turned on but I do know you can go into server settings -> network and set a list of IPs/subnets that can access without any authorization at all. That lets you use plex without even having a plex account afaik.

It has to do with the app used. I think it will work with web player and maybe the windows app, but it won’t work on Android/iOS.

oh okay, interesting. well, you could always use the web browser on your phone/ipad i guess. not a great experience but i know for a fact that plex works on ios in chrome at the very least.
