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.

    I guess I’d hoped it was less frequently than every time a user logs in. Or that the metadata was locally cached and checked occasionally. Or that there’d be a fallback for cases like this when outages occur. It’s a nice feature for sure, but not having a local fallback (even a complicated one for most users) is a bummer.

      That is quite concerning to be sure. Makes you rethink the so-called “Lifetime” pass.
