Long time Plex user. New app is trash. Can’t cast from android device to Chromecast. Uninstalled new app, installed old. Worked fine What the happened plex?

I thought they set up a proxy for the chromecast issue but if you have an ad blocker this may help [image] New Experience Public Release Feedback Mobile Devices Are you using an ad blocker like Pihole or Unifi ad blocker? Can you add “config.claspws.tv” to your allow lis…

I’m using a public DNS on my router by adguard. I don’t want to allow this domain, why does this stop the app working. The old app works fine? This is extremely disappointing

Will this be resolved anytime soon? Without having to allow that DNS?

Dev here, this is correct. Casting is done through them to simplify our end of the implementation for device discovery and any future new protocols such as Matter Casting. But there is absolutely no tracking being done whatsoever. They have a tracking product as well which is probably why their dom…

Great thanks. I appreciate the transparency.

When is this release to fix casting going to come out??

This should be the reason people dump Plex. Trust a third party for casting? No logging, you can’t speak to that and those who can won’t. And they shouldn’t be trusted. It’s absolutely being logged. Unbelievable. Unforgivable. If it’s on the Internet through a third party, there is absolutely no re…
