so wait, do plex users really have to authenticate or some shit on an external server to watch their own locally hosted media? as in, if your internet goes down, you can’t even watch your own local media?
and people still use this shit?
that’s like instead of lego, they give you duplo, and the duplo is crazy glued to the bottom of the toybox.
It’s free if you just want to watch on your local network (for now). The pay features are to be able to stream off-network (and a few other things). Still outrageous.
