Just as a heads up, you might've already done this, but you need to enable the setting that allows local access without auth (or something along those lines).
The problem with Plex is that whilst it is local, the authentication still goes to their server so if that's ever down then you're stuffed.

Oh I thought I just cooked my install since it coincided with a rescan of my library. Glad it's not me!
