Thanks for the thread, it finally motivated me to try Plex with my Chromecast and so far it's played everything I've thrown at it flawlessly. The discovery bit took a bit of tweaking to get all my media to show up correctly but the Plex interface is simple enough to use that it wasn't a pain in the rear end.

Colt Cannon posted:Well, I figured out part of my problem with Chromecast. I had my server setup via WIFI, because I wanted to have it in a room that no one really used, so that it wouldn't randomly spin up when I wanted to watch/download/whatever something. Turns out the card I was using would randomly drop down to 5 Mbits speed, and that is right when whatever I was playing would start skipping. Same situation, I have my file server in a spare bedroom so I don't have to see or hear it. I'm using an ethernet over power solution from WD and I haven't had any buffering issues with Chromecast and Plex.
