PlexAmp version: 4.6.2

When casting to a group or an individual device from PlexAmp I get “Cannot Connect To Player”. This has worked previously up to a month ago and has been intermittently problematic over the last month. Now it doesn’t work at all.

Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

I am having the same issue on both my phone and my wife’s. I have looked everywhere and the only solution seems to be “wait.” I’m not sure what to do.

[Plexamp 4.6.3](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-release-notes/221280/55) was just released and should resolve the problem for you 🙂
