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. ---

Argh, just found out this is broken while trying to cast while on vacation. Come on Plex, this used to work just fine, you could just change the quality to match whatever connection you were on. It’s now become useless unless you are on a good internet connection. ---
