When over at my Girlfriends house and we try to watch a stream. it will randomly not work or pause out for a bit than work but than the menu bar appears for the rest of the epsiode.  
She is currently using a chromecast with her computer. they have Fibre internet.

anytime i travel i never have issues when lag or anything like that.

I would test the network speed on the chromecast to make sure that’s not an issue. If that isn’t it, check the plex media player settings or the chromecast settings. Seems like there is something specific in the settings that will resolve this.
