About PlexiCast (for Chromecast)

Do you have a chromecast? Do you want to cast your own movie collection to it instead casting from the cloud? Now you can.

All you need is this app and a Plex™ Media Server. It will allow you to stream any moviesvideos from your Plex library to your chromecast.

Free 7 day trial. After that you can upgrade to the full version with unlimited casting with an in-app purchase.

Transcoding has been added as an experimental feature. You can enable it in the settings. It is still recommended that for best results you convert your library into a format directly supported by the chromecast, since transcoding does not always give good results.

TRANSCODE WARNING
● No guarantees.
● Transcoding may not give good results.
● This app calls your Plex Media Server's transcoding engine.
● A number of factors like Wi-Fi network throughput, Plex server specs and server load play a part in successful transcoding.
● If you experience problems with transcoding, there are a number of suggestions in the plex forum to improve transcoding results.
● Please do not leave negative ratings/comments if transcoding does not work for you. The results you receive are beyond this app's control.


Currently TV Shows, Music and Photos are not supported. You must have a Plex™ Media Server running on your local network.

App should be considered as BETA right now. Please make sure everything is working for you before upgrading to the full version.

Plex™ is a registered trademark of Plex, Inc. This app is in no way affiliated with Plex™. It just uses it's awesome server backend to provide movie meta-data and serve the media files over a web server.

Just use the plex app. This one is completely redundant, and lacks many of the features of the official plex app.

Sorry not interested in anything not free, keep free trials off the web.

Granted, I do have 1.8TB of video in my Plex Server, but my droid maxx has been loading items for 5 minutes now with NO listings... help... WANT to replace my Logitech Revue which is getting squirrely!

Says it cannot connect to the server via the web interface even though the host/port combination works from a web browser.

The Plex Media Player app plays files from my remote server perfectly. This app can't connect to the server at all.

Wont connect to server. I'm a fairly advanced user and cant imagine the average person trying to set this up. Addresses seem correct but wont connect. There is ZERO documentation or help so you are on your own. Stuck at loading items and have no clue how to troubleshoot

I give so much respect for the time and effort into this app. The recent update to support transcoding is amazing. Best app hands down for the chromecast.

Guess what plex. You missed the boat. Been waiting for plex to release chromecast support for everyone. Now with plexicast the wait is over. Thank you plexicast. Question for the developer... Will transcoding be in the future of plexicast?
