Standard Plex app Updates with Chromecast Support

Until today you needed a Plex Pass to utilize Plex through your Chromecast device. Plex Pass members get new features as a sort of trial before a general public release. For many the added benefits of Plex Pass is well worth the price tag that it carries, for other, they are happy to wait for a new feature to make its way to the general public app, which I might add does cost $4.99.

Those of you that waited patiently are in for a treat today. The regular Plex app has been updated to include Chromecast support for everyone. The Chromecast support also is capable of casting your music and photos from your Plex server too. As with all updates, it also includes fixes around remote controlling the Chromecast and lots of bug fixes.

Be sure to go update the Plex app if you aren’t a Plex Pass member and check it out on your Chromecast. If you are totally clueless, you should head over to Plex.tv and take a quick read. It could very well be worth your time and the cost of the $4.99 app.
