I always cast from the Plex Web app ([app.plex.tv](http://app.plex.tv)) to other PCs using the Plex MPV Shim. But, I am unable to cast from the Plex Web App now. The cast icon in the upper right is not greyed out. And clicking it, I _CAN_ see my remote cast destinations in the list. But, selecting them fails. If I use the Android App on my phone, I can successfully cast to the remote Plex MPV Shim PCs. So, I don’t think the issue is with Plex MPV Shim. ---

EDIT: There’s a known issue casting from Plex Web affecting some users. It is not specific to MPV Shim or any target device. Plex is investigating the problem.

Thanks. Yes, I do not think the issue is with [Plex MPV Shim](https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim). I cannot cast to our Roku devices either (I think… I need to verify that). I use [Plex MPV Shim](https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim) to ‘cast’ to a secondary monitor on the same machine. This makes for a much cleaner presentation for playing videos in a public setting. This way, the audience does not see the Plex interface. They just see a blank desktop when a video is not playing and the video when it is playing. ---
