Server Version#: I tried multiple versions but mainly 1.41.3 and 1.41.2
Player Version#: Any plex player on any Android phone casting. I tried in 3 separate locations.
Sometimes in the last month, cast stopped working from the Android app to Chromecast devices, only outside my local network. I can’t reproduce it in my local network, but I could reproduce it in 3 separate locations outside my network easily.
Playback works as expected in the Android app or in the browser. Just cast doesn’t work properly.
Bellow I extracted some snippets from the logs:
