Update 2020/10/20 - THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 10 MONTHS NOW. If you are new or old to this long and frustrating thread, please tweet/retweet about this like I have here because it seems like we have to shame Plex into fixing and prioritising this issue of making Chromecasts work.

You can cast to the shield pro fyi or use the app on it. I tested it and didnt get the error on either. I think its pretty clear plex doesnt give a flying F about this error and its not going to be fixed.

Bumping for visibility. I definitely have this error and it is making my chromecast unusable.

Confirming it’s still a problem here, too. Seems totally random.

Seeing as Plex have just announced some Chromecast updates here: [image] Plex for Chromecast Announcements 4.42.1 FIXED: Added support for Live TV on Plex subtitles I’m very much hoping they can notice this long-running issue and fix.

Any changes with 4.45? Mostly asking to trigger notifications for people here who aren’t stalking the Chromecast announcement thread. :slight_smile: [image] Plex for Chromecast Announcements 4.45.0 NEW: Changed transcoded audio to use Opus codec instead of AAC Show Orig…

Just updated to server version 1.20.3483. Still no relief.

Same issue here. Movie is fine for 60 min. Then the log is flooded with Unexpected notification stream hello And Chromecast did not move header accept And the whole thing goes belly up Stuttering like crazy. I am direct streaming a SD movie to chromecast ultra. Plex is a joke

Still having this issue. Its been months now. Please fix this Plex!!
