When Plex fails

Plex streams your own media server and free channels. When Plex's sign-in servers fail, apps cannot reach your server even though it is running at home.

If Plex is not working for you

  1. Open plex.tv on another network, such as mobile data. If it works there, the problem is your connection, your DNS or your VPN.
  2. Update or restart the app, then sign out and back in.
  3. Look for an incident on one feature on status.plex.tv.

Questions about Plex outages.

Is Plex down right now?

The status at the top of this page comes from Hyperping checks of Plex, run every minute and refreshed on the page every 60 seconds. Green means the latest checks succeeded; red means they are failing, confirmed from several regions.

How do you check Plex?

We send an HTTP request to app.plex.tv every minute, in turn from Virginia, Frankfurt and Singapore, and count a successful response as up. When a check fails, other regions check again before Plex counts as down.

Plex is up here but not working for me. Why?

An outage can be partial: one feature, one app, one country or one internet provider, and our checks see Plex from data centers. Try another network such as mobile data, update or restart the app, and check the official status page for an incident on one feature.

Does Plex have an official status page?

Yes, status.plex.tv. Plex's team updates it by hand, so it can lag behind the start of an outage; our checks run every minute whatever it says.

Can I get alerted when Plex goes down?

Yes. Create a free Hyperping account and add app.plex.tv as a monitor: you are alerted by email, Slack or your other channels within a minute of a failure. The free plan includes 20 monitors, enough for your own site and the services it depends on.
