even if you’re already logged in, apps do not find and recognize your local server without internet access.
You set your server in those app’s settings to not use direct connect and thus they are being routed through Plex’s servers
When you select your Plex libraries from the drop-down there are usually 2 options, one will be the local IP and say (direct), that’s always the best choice if you’re able
I just turned off my Internet connection to my Chromecast and tested, no issues with accessing my media
Chromecast w/ google TV, sorry, so like a fire stick but different branding. Once you’re signed into apps on it it’ll remember you cuz it’s a full android device

Nice! How are you using a chromecast without internet? Mine screams at me to get a google account.

How do you get past the first screen that asks for a google account?
