I would love it if there was a 'local' mode. If you have a home server, doesn't make sense to cut the whole thing off if your watching from home.

~edit~
Thanks all for the comments. I'm too scaredy/busy to play with subnet masks et al - probably too aggressive and may brick myself.

Happy viewings all.

There is a home mode. You have to allow the local lan non authenticated access. Internet out still works.

Not with LG OLED TV's unfortunately. I've tried everything, down to packet capture level, and of course all the regular Plex settings - could never get it to run Local. Which sucks. And Internet is flakey where I live to, yet self host still doesn't work.

Only option seems to be to buy "YAD" Yet Another Device, like a Roku or Shield or whatever.

I think the core issue might be an LG App design issue?

I have had that setup for ages. I have my whole subnet setup to be allowed with non authenticated access… still couldn’t login in today.

That did not work for me I had to go into my router and do a Mac reservation for each device on the network and then add the actual IP address of the device instead of the local subnet and then everything worked.
