Thanks for the confirmation, just good to know that others and myself aren’t wrong and wasn’t a fault with our servers.

Thanks for the update, more patience than I have, couldn’t be bothered to upgrade and downgrade back all the time, in fear of it causing a conflict at some point

Also two more threads that was missed [HTPC Cannot Control/Play Music On A Media Server From Another Computer?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/htpc-cannot-control-play-music-on-a-media-server-from-another-computer/841119/)

When I select the Roku off the casting device list nothing happens, the icon doesn’t change colour to orange and the music plays on the web app. If I start the music first then click the Roku on the list I get the message “would you like to continue playback here” but when I select Yes it continues to play on the web app. I get the same if I try to cast to another web app running on a different machin…

Just to further confirm, the more info and posts the better.

Similar longstanding problem here with the Plex player on Mac. Plex Media Server at latest version on RPi… Casting to a Plexamp from the web version doesn’t work either.

@BigWheel Any more info or updates, plex has seen multiple version changes since this, people are still checking newer versions too which aren’t fixed.

I’m sorry I don’t have any new update about it. When it is fixed there will be a note in the [release notes](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-web/20528/417) for the web app.

1.32.5.7210-77f7f99fa still broken.

The plex web client seems to be trying to access a malformed URL for the plexamp player. Plexamp itself seems to know how to build that URL (to access another plexamp instance) perfectly well. How hard could this be to fix? - just do a little copy-paste from the plexamp codebase into the plex web client codebase.

Hi I’m having this trouble too!

I went through all of the steps to setup a headless Raspberry Pi setup and it’s disheartening to arrive at the final step to find out that this issue makes all my labor in setting up this new project unusable.

My new headless setup seems to be greyed out in plexamp, so I can’t cast any music there. Any chance we could get a fix soon?

Your description does not sound like the problem this thread is focused on. Those of us commenting in here are not having trouble casting / flinging to a headless plexamp instance from another plexamp instance. In my case I’m doing that all day.

This thread is about specifically not being able to cast to any plexamp player from the plex web client. It’s the web client that is broken. You seem to be having another issue.

Thank you for checking in on this! I’m holding back to Version 1.30.2.6563 until it gets fixed. ☹

I think after 3 months it’s unlikely to ever be fixed, plex just don’t care enough about the feature.

Given other people have said it should be a fairly simple fix
