I’m not able to cast anything to my chromecast ultra. I’ve updated my iOS app and server, and when I hit “watch” in the iOS app when connected to my chromecast, nothing appears on the chromecast. It used to work about 1 week ago, but it seems something has broken.

Do you see the Plex logo screen on the cast device? You are using the cast icon to connect then casting content or the cast icon from within the playing content? (not sure if iOS app has it there).

Can you describe any more precise symptoms such as screen flashes, audio output, etc?

Just tested this again and it now works oddly enough. When it wasn’t working, I would see the Plex logo on my chromecast after connecting via the cast button in the app, but when I would hit play on iOS, the logo would disappear on the TV, but the content wouldn’t actually play.

@jaymgo sorry actually running into this again today. The same exact issue. Plex app launches on Chromecast when connecting via iOS app, but when pressing play on any piece of content, nothing happens on the Chromecast - the logo just remains. Even with a full Chromecast and TV reboot.
