Chromecast is not working anymore, it just comes up with an error. But if I cast my google chrome window on pc, it works perfectly. But when im casting from PLEX, it wont do it. Can we get a fix for this in the next update? ---

Same issue here! Worked fine yesterday but today it just throws an error message on the Chromecast screen saying something went wrong. However, casting other apps from the same device works fine. Chromecast Ultra Android Google Pixel 9 Pro ---

Same here on the ‘old’ app on Android. The new Plex app on iOS is still able to cast though. ---

I have the same issue. All other apps cast just fine, the Plex app (both iPhone and Android) can’t. The screen just flickers on newer chromecast, on the older it says “something went wrong”. ---

Same problem. Can’t cast to my TV - I get the message “Unable to connect”. The problem is ONLY with Plex - all other apps work - and it doesn’t matter what device you use (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop), none of them connect. ---

Same problem here with different Chromecast Generations. Yesterday it was working, today it isn’t. Casting from the old app and from the webinterface doesn’t. It does work with the new plex app though. ---

Also with old chromecasts. Doesn’t work via browser either. Browser can cast youtube. Tried to downgrade to PlexMediaServer-1.41.5.9522-a96edc606 no luck. ---
