Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April (www.plex.tv)

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

They do not have chromecast support. (Atleat the last time i checked) Thats a deal breaker for me, would love to use it.

IIRC it has it. Not if you're behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.

Hmm i need to revisit it again. Thanks!

I just confirmed it has it. You need to be on the same subnet, which is why VPN won't work. But then everything shows up as castable

I run Jellyfin on Chromecast with Google TV every day, it works super well.

Unless you mean casting from your phone, then I don't know.

I will check it out!

.... I'm using Chromecast and Google TV, though Chromecast isn't very good, really, and Google TV stared showing commercials every now and then since a while ago, so that too will be on its way out.

But yeah, they're supported
