Wont connect to chromecast "no players found"

Same issue. This is causing Plex to cast via screen mirroring instead of directly (Not getting the “Ready to Cast” screen on my TV anymore).

  • Plex Server Version: 1.14.1.5488
  • Chromecast Versions: 1.32.141268 and 1.36.141427
  • Chrome Version: 72.0.3626.81 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Edit: this may be the same issue and certainly seems something has changed in the Chrome Version 72 update: [Cast] API is not available in Chrome 72
