I run Plex Server on my Mac desktop and cast to TV as a rule via Android phone, iPad or just the Mac.

I also just upgraded to PlexMediaServer-1.19.3.2764-ef515a800-x86_64.qpkg and saw the same error (Unexpected error during playback)when using chrome on win7 to browse previously played items on my local QNAP server - so it isn’t a network issue (all gigabit wired network and gigabit switches).
