So im trying to use my phone as a remote control for my Windows Plex Player. I have the same installed on my laptop and i can see that fine from my ios cast list but cant see the desktop one. So im wondering is it maybe an configuration problem?

Only 1 of my Plex Desktop players showing up on cast from ios

The ability to cast/fling to Plex Web and Plex Desktop was removed in June 2022 (release notes).

If you need to fling to a desktop, Plex suggests using Plex HTPC.
