Update after extensive testing and log review (28 May): I’ve now confirmed that this issue is a likely bug in the Android Plex app’s casting system. Here’s a detailed summary of everything I’ve ruled out, plus what the logs show… Issue Summary Plex Server: Windows 10, hostname: LOFT-PC Chromecas…

Appreciate your deep dive into the issue. I am in the same boat at least with the outward symptoms. Hopefully this will help Plex find a resolution, but its been over a month for me. In the meantime if you roll back to the previous version of the app it functions fine.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I really appreciate you confirming you’re seeing the same issue.
