Hmm, maybe. So setting the router to only use 2.4Ghz would fix that?
Odd that it started acting up just as the new NAS was installed, though. Post hoc ergo propter hoc, as the West Wing taught us. |

Plex server is running off the same PC it always has. Read and write speeds from the NAS are great - like I said, everything else manages fine. The Chromecast just doesn't like it for some reason.
I should probably try restarting the routers. |

I used to have problems with random sync fails, but it seems much better lately (ie. the last six months or so).
It's hard to blame the devs, as they're doubtless getting whipped as it's not available on a toaster yet. Honestly, the number of things that have a Plex app is insane. |

Let's see if you can guess who switched his wifi off to run a hotspot last night and didn't switch it back on before Plex starting synching new content.

| Using Plex or YouTube (and Netflix, I believe) you need a phone (or something) to control it and choose what you want to watch, but once this is done you can then use the phone for something else, as the ChromeCast App connects directly to the source. |
