Cast Plex video to chromecast

[foncubierta]

Good morning, I'm looking to send plex videos to chromecast, does this application only allow audio? Could you add video? Thanks Very good work with the application.

Hi!, thanks for getting in touch.

Currently, Plex content can't be sent to a Chromecast device using Tizonia, neither audio nor video. For some unknown reason, there was a limitation with the media URLs provided by the Plex server which prevented these URLs from being used on a Chromecast device.

As a separate note, Tizonia is currently focused on streaming and decoding of audio content. There are video decoding capabilities as well in Tizonia's internal multimedia framework, but these are not exposed yet on the command-line application. Perhaps in the future.

Just for reference, this is the issue that was raised to track Plex and chomecast integration: #462

For reference, there is some information here about casting Plex content to Chromecast devices:
