For those who are as frustrated with this announcement as I am, I have written an alternative player for Plex. It uses mpv and allows full control of video playback through the mobile app. The app is intended to function similar to Chromecast in that is has no UI to select what to watch without using another app to cast to it, but it has the full power of mpv behind it. Currently I have confirmed it works on Linux, but it should work on other platforms.
