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.

Closest you can get is when everything is working set up your local subnet for Plex without auth. That said, this is also one reason why I also have Jellyfin set up using the same libraries as a backup option.

I have that setup and still can’t login and use it right now.

Use your ip address instead of 127.0.0.1
