New Plex App Does Not Cast When Shuffling

Today I woke up to Plex looking completely different. Wonderful. I’m sure plenty of us hate how un-intuitive it is… anyway… When I cast to a Google device, the screen will just say “PLEX” and not change with whatever I have selected on my phone/tablet/PC like it used to. While connected, if I choose to shuffle a show, the show plays on my local device, and not on the device I’m casting to, despite being connected.

Media doesn't play on Chromecast Device when selecting "shuffle playlist"

On the 2025.13.0 android version of the Plex app, when I connect to a Chromecast device and choosing “Shuffle Playlist”, it will play on my phone and not the Chromecast connected device (Google Home Hub, if that helps). Individual titles will cast without issue, and I tried a few different playlists and got the same result. If this is a known bug or feature that hasn’t been implemented yet, my apologies.
