Server Version#: 1.41.5.9522 Player Version#: 2025.13.0 Other devices: Chromecast Ultra, iPhone 12 mini (18.4), mac mini Sonoma (14.7.4) Looking for answers to two simple questions, huge thanks to whomever can provide a straight(ish) answer: Using the new iOS app, Watch Versions and all Extras…

I don’t want to add too many "me too"s but thought it was worth noting that I’m having the same problem and I’m also using a Chromecast Ultra with iPhone. Server: 1.41.7.9749, iOS client: 2025.15.0 (1053) I have plexpass and i’m willing to try to work with someone. The option to change the transc…

I’m having the same problem. Running iOS version 2025.15.0. I typically select 1080p over 4K versions when casting to my smaller TV to avoid transcoding. This was simple and worked flawlessly in the older versions.

Damn, was kind of hoping it would get fixed within a few updates. I’m still on 2025.16.0 but not only am I unable to ‘Watch Version’ on anything other than my phone but now some videos are just not playing at all. They try to stream, but never actually start. I can actually see the player trying to …

Server version 1.41.8.9834 and Android 2025.19.0 and the Watch Version feature still refuses to play on connected Chromecast. It only plays on my phone. Worked flawlessly before the UI update. Any idea if this is on the devs radar at all?

Unclear if the devs have this on their radar, @dsheck81 . Still not working for me with latest MacOs and iOS versions. @BigWheel - any insider info on this issue? Thanks all. We’ll get there.

Android v2025.22.0 - Server v1.42.1.10060 “Watch Version” still only plays on my phone, will not cast to connected Chromecast. Even selecting the version that players on default when using normal ‘Watch’ will not play on TV.

Thanks for the update @BigWheel . Appreciate all your work.

Another “me too”. Chromecast Ultra with 4k and 1080p content, trying to cast always chooses 4k and “Watch Version” (on android-mobile 2025.27.0 ) or “Play Version” ( plex-web ) selecting 1080p always plays the content on the device, not casting it.
