PLEX PROBLEMS PREVENTED USERS FROM STREAMING MOVIES AND SHOWS
REPORT A PROBLEM WITH THIS SOURCE
AT A GLANCE
Plex services experienced some major issues on Tuesday, with multiple users reporting problems on Plex's forums and on Reddit. Many people use Plex as a way to stream shows and movies they host locally, but users are upset because today's problems were reportedly affecting their ability to do that.
"Basically all Plex is down unless you can play locally over LAN and even that takes ages and doesn't always work," said one user. Others reported problems with matching content on their servers. For me, the Plex TV website was loading slowly, though while initially writing this story, it started to load more reliably.
