Best way to cast mkv files to Chromecast?

>the Videostram app sucks and won't buffer videos properly

I run Plex server and use a plex app on my phone to cast all my offline media to my Chromecast.

do you pay for a Plex pass?
>>53921167
Nope, no need. I'm not even sure what the benefits are other than being able to stream stuff from your home when you aren't home.

And if you don't want to use Plex there is always Emby media server which is the same thing but in a slightly messier package. The apps for Emby aren't as nice as the ones for Plex.

You can do that for free too. You get special features for movies you own and music videos with Plex Pass.

Oh, ok. I haven't really explored it since I'm perfectly happy with the out of the box experience.

>Plex Pass
No thanks. Use universal media server
OP here.
Trying to cast with Plex, it says casting to Chromecast for like 7 minutes and nothing is appearing on my screen except 'ready to cast'.

way to read OP's post bro
>>53920978
use a device that lets you stream whatever you want instead of depending on apps and Chrome
