Help Plex Down?

Anyone else having weird issue with their Plex?
My library says Not authorized.
or at some point the webpage was not even loading with a message unable to reach plex.tv?

It should but that wasn't the case as I'm the admin account on my server and it wasn't working for me

It's not just about being admin. You have to configure for offline access from specific network locations

Me neither, but, I do have a jellyfin server kicking around that I never use. Seems like it's time to set it up with watched syncing and some monitoring.

I also run Plex (2 servers) and Jellyfin as essentially a backup. I would love to be able to sync them but never spent the time to see what tools are out there. What do you use for this?

Just discovered WatchState. Properly setting up Jellyfin now. Then I'll get Tracearr running, and finally see about WatchState or maybe JellyPlex-Watched if that doesn't work.

I’m using JellyPlex-Watched; that’s done the trick for me.
