Chromecast Plex App Crashes and Freezes for Many Users

The Chromecast with Google TV has been a popular streaming device since its release in 2020, offering users a seamless way to stream their favorite TV shows, movies, and games. However, some users have been experiencing issues with the Plex app on their Chromecast devices.

According to reports from many users, playing the next episode of a show on Plex can cause the app to crash and freeze the device. This issue is not limited to just one type of file format, as users who try to play episodes in MKV HEVC also experience this problem.

When trying to play the next episode, some users have reported that the video will be displayed zoomed in and eventually the player app will crash, taking the entire device with it. Additionally, hitting the back button on their remote control can cause the Chromecast device to freeze and restart.

This is not an isolated issue, as many other users have also reported experiencing freezing and crashing problems when streaming on Plex using their Chromecast devices. The problem seems to be specific to playing consecutive episodes of a show, with the first episode playing without any issues.

The Chromecast with Google TV offers many features that make it a great streaming device, including support for popular platforms such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, and YouTube. With its user-friendly interface and ability to stream content from multiple devices, it's no wonder why many users have chosen this device.

To resolve the issue, Plex may need to release an update that addresses these problems and ensures a smoother streaming experience for all users. Until then, those who are experiencing this issue may want to consider using alternative streaming options or waiting for a solution to be implemented.
