Problems with plex playing though chromecast

I’ve been paying for my plex pass since August this year. Everything looks and works nice on my PC and laptop but it doesn’t work when I try to play media through my chromecast device in the back of my TV. The chromecast device works fine for TED talks, bbc iplayer etc but all I get with plex is a little slowly spinning arrow saying loading. Nothing ever loads though. It doesn’t matter what the video file is.

Obviously I feel a bit silly paying for this service considering it doesn’t work for me. The whole point of having the pass was to be able to watch my media though a nice interface on my TV. Am I doing something wrong?

PS I have an old popcorn hour media player which used to work great. I had some software called oversite which gave me a movie wall of posters to navigate through my media. Sadly it won’t download metadata anymore so I need to come up with another solution. Hence me getting Plex. Does anyone know if there are there any other HDD based movie players which provide a movie wall type experience?
