Can we get a fix when using Chromecast with Apple IPad/IPhone. Plex has to restart every time you shut off the device or open another app.. Peace.

Not exclusive to ASUS routers. I have a linksys router, and I have to restart every time I want to use my iPad for anything else. It’s a Chromecast and Plex issue. I gave my logs to a administrator back in February, and absolutely nothing was done about the known issue.

It would be nice if more Chromecast people complained about the issue. Maybe the developers would take it seriously. Or maybe change to a different app
