Plex keep disconnecting Chromecast when iOS is idle a few minutes

Hei!

After a couple of updates ago I’ve noticed a new annoying bug when combining Plex on iOS connected to Chromecast.
I connect my iPhone like normal, watch a movie, want a break from the movie and want to pause it on my iPhone, but it has disconnected so no pause button or anything at all that shows any movie are playing… I then have to reconnect to pause, annoying af.

BuUt to make it worse, is when I’m finished taking a break. I just want to press play on my iPhone like I’ve done the last 5 years. But then it has disconnect again and I have to connect to Chromecast again to press play on my iPhone…. I’ve tried everything, it must be a software issue, not settings.

Any one else can relate?

I use this combo of units all the time, so this bug, is destroying my so far flawless Plex experience. I couldn’t find any place to report bugs, so instead I yell out here in frustration…!

Same here. Other threads regarding this issue:

Hopefully a Plex developer will to look into this.
