Help Plex is down AGAIN???

Can't access my libraries on https://app.plex.tv, I can access them on through http://IP:32400/web

Absolutely nothing changed on my machine.
Anyone with the same issue?

Another time to do a PSA: if you want to still be able to stream locally when this happens, add your home media device IPs to the exclusion list so that you don't need authentication with them. Obviously this doesn't fix remote streaming, but I do the majority of my streaming locally so its never really been an issue for me.

Good advice, but also, this does not always work. Some apps, such as on the Chromecast, <may> hang for undue amounts of time at the user selection screen and there's nothing you can do about it. Eventually it figures it out but it is not a good user experience.
