Oh shi...

Is there any way to increase the font of the web interface? Running it to my television is awesome but some of the text is so tiny you need to squint.

I actually have a chromecast. Some of the channels I would like to watch (like some of the shows on PBS) won't stream to devices but will work directly from the web browser. To get around this, I was watching through the browser of my PS4. First world problem.

I use both and don't really notice a discernible difference between either.

Do you use both PS4 and Chromecast? Accessing plex through the PS4 browser is slightly annoying but isn't terrible. However, I was wondering how much better it is with a chromecast despite the fact I lose my ability to plug in headphones unless you can plug them into the phone/tablet you are casting from to get audio.

To my knowledge, you can't get the audio from your mobile device while streaming, but the phone interface is really easy to use. Unless you are a subscriber, the plex ap is five bucks.

The only reason I use the PS4 interface is when I can't stream a channel via the phone. Some PBS shows and most NBC shows will let you watch from your phone but not stream them to the tv. Running through the PS4 browser gets around that problem. Unfortunately the browser method makes the font so tiny that it's hard to read from the other side of the room.
