I stopped using it for about 5 years because there was this truly cursed period where it wouldn't remember manual connections if you weren't logged in and wouldn't work without an active internet connection if you were logged in. Even after they fixed both of those there was still a 50/50 shot it would treat logged-in local devices as remote devices and stream out via your internet connection and then back in to the client device. In fact I still don't log my devices in if I don't have to.
Comment on Plex will be blocking access from at least VPS provider
IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 year agoI tried out Plex when I was first setting up my media server and having to do a bunch of stuff through Plex servers was one of the main reasons I jumped ship immediately. The hardware is in my house, the files are in my house, I never want it to leave my house, I kept thinking why the hell do I need to mess around with Plex accounts and online connections??

There’s nothing good to watch these days. I’ll just stick with the collection of old TV shows I’ve got stashed on my server.
