Is Plex down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Plex successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 1,060 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 1,007 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 839 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 932 ms |
Based on 3,296 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About Plex
Plex is a media server platform that allows users to organize their personal collections of movies, music, and photos to stream them to various devices. The service utilizes a central authentication system to link local servers with remote players and provides access to ad-supported video on demand. Common points of failure include the inability to claim a new server, remote access connection drops, or the main metadata scraping service going offline. If the Plex authentication servers are down, users may be locked out of their own local libraries. Rimetry monitors these essential login and discovery endpoints to inform users of any systemic service interruptions.
Problems with Plex can affect website, login & authentication, playback independently.
Plex (plex.tv) is a streaming service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Plex is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 1140 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to plex.tv are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Plex include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

Plex is part of our Streaming category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · Playback stalls or endless buffering
- · Error codes on start-up or when pressing play
- · Login loops and profile switching failures
- · Lower-than-usual video quality
Similar patterns often surface across other streaming providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Open the site in another browser to rule out a local cache issue
- · Test signing in from a private browser window or another device
- · Try a different title and a different device before assuming an outage
- · Restart the TV, console or streaming stick, not just the app
- · Stop playback, close the app completely, and reopen it
- · Try the same title in a browser to see whether it's app-specific
- · Switch networks (mobile data vs Wi‑Fi) — streaming is sensitive to ISP routing
- · Restart your TV, console or streaming stick, not just the app
- · Turn off a VPN or proxy: many catalogues block them and it looks like an outage
- · Check Plex's official social channels
