Yeah, but I'm right on the border between moderately and profoundly deaf, so for me, subtitles are a necessity. This sucks, I was all excited about setting up a streaming media server that could automatically fetch subs. I've asked on the Plex forums; hopefully they can help.

Did you make an account on opensubtitles? It didn't work for me until I created an account and out the details in the settings for opensubtitles in plex.

While that is definitely a good thought, I'd primarily be using this at people's homes for photos and movies and stuff. In that scenario, it sounds like it should work well. I think I remember reading that once you initiate the playback on the chromecast via my phone, the connection is then made directly between the chromecast and the plex server directly, and my phone is out of the loop, right?

That's correct. No media is streamed from your phone unless it's local media it just gets it from the source.

Anyway to get a cheap lifetime plex pass? The current price really doesn't make sense for 5 years.

The only way I know is go back in time when it was cheaper.
