This might be due to some unfamiliarity on my part with networks and Windows and sharing folders, etc., so don't go by me on this point. This caused all kinds of problems to the point where we had to delete his server and rebuild it. Another weird glitch that I've come across is I've tried to share servers with another Plex user on my network, so that when he brings up his Plex server you can also switch, via a dropdown, to another server.

If you don't tag a series episode properly Plex won't "see" it. The downside that I've found is, it seems like Plex is very sensitive to tagging conventions. It automatically sorts by season (if you've tagged things correctly), and usually puts up the correct card for any series you've put there. I love that you can create libraries to use as sort of short cuts to series (I have "libraries" for things like Better Call Saul, MASH, etc.). But if that doesn’t happen, at least you’ll have an exit plan.I've been using Plex for years with video exclusively and I've had few problems. With any luck, Google will see the light and provide a way for YouTube Music users to keep casting their own record collections. Double-click the icon to open the music player, or right-click and highlight “Select Device” to choose your speakers or Chromecast devices from the list. Now, open Music Caster.exe, and you should see a white Cast button in taskbar. Head to the download page, select the “Portable.zip” option, then extract it anywhere on your computer. It has its own music player, it supports casting to individual speakers or groups, and it works without issue in my experience. If you want to play music from your laptop, but haven’t set up a Plex server, Music Caster can help. One other thing to consider: If you’re paying for enough cloud storage to hold your MP3 collection, you might use the Autosync apps for OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive to sync some or all of your music collection onto your phone automatically. To start casting, just hit the “Playing to this device” button at the bottom, and choose your Google Home speaker, speaker group, or Chromecast from the device list. Once installed, Hi-Fi Cast automatically detects all the music on your device and lets you browse by artist, album, genre, or playlist. Hi-Fi Cast is a fine option for Chromecast and Google Home music if your phone has enough storage.

The app supports gapless playback on Chromecast devices for any MP3, AAC, FLAC, and WAV Files stored on your phone, and it’s free to use. Option 2: Hi-Fi Cast for Androidįor Android users who don’t want to deal with all of Plex’s setup, the Hi-Fi Cast app is a fine alternative, especially if your phone has ample storage or a MicroSD card slot for holding a large music collection.

The Plexamp app will be an even better way to play music once it gets Chromecast support. Chromecast support is currently in development. If you’re a Plex Pass subscriber, I also suggest checking out Plexamp, an excellent alternative app that’s strictly focused on music instead of all media types. Select any of your Google Home speakers, speaker groups, Chromecast devices, then choose some music to start playing. Plex should find your media server automatically, and you should see the Cast icon on the screen. Just visit or download Plex’s apps for iOS or Android, then sign in with the same account with which you set up the server. Once you’ve dealt with all that setup, using Plex is fairly easy.

Using Plex with Chromecast and Google Home Be sure to read Plex’s devices and limitations page as well. Instructions for NAS setup vary depending on the manufacturer, but you can start by visiting Plex’s download page to get the appropriate software. Plex’s web app lets you manage your music library, even with the Shield TV. Locate the “Music” section in the sidebar, hit the vertical “…” button, then select Manage Library > Edit > Add folders.
