Chromecast

Server Version#: 1.42.0.9975
Player Version#: 2025.22.0 (966828455) - got this in my Samsung Galaxy phone plex app.

If I play the media directly through my phone, it works, I can change resolution, bit rate and etc through the quality settings.
Subtitles also works.

If I use this same phone to select a chromecast to cast, I can’t change quality settings anymore because the setting is no longer there.
Subtitles works sometimes, others not, can’t explain why.

Please help, 99% of my media I watch through Chromecast, I have been waiting for a fix for a long time, since the new app with the new GUI has launched, but no fix so far.
I don’t use Plex anymore because of this.

Thanks.

Found this topic:

Which pointed me to the old app, Plex for Android - #525 by PlexAndroidReleaser

1- removed old app
2- downloaded the [Google Play (arm64v8a) 10.26.0 version for my Samsung Galaxy S10 Exynos from this link: Plex for Android - #525 by PlexAndroidReleaser
3- installed and logged in
4- Disabled auto update for this app in Play Store for Plex app.
Obs: In Android, when you click “update all”, it will find that Plex app auto-update is not set (disabled), and will ask if you want to update it anyway, just click: “Ignore”, and it won`t update Plex while updating all other apps in the phone.

Thanks, can close this thread.
