Plex is a media player that streams over 200+ live TV Channels, Movies, Series, and on-demand videos. By installing this app on your Google TV, you can stream the media files you stored locally on your PC or mobile. For this, you need to set up a Plex Media Server on your Windows or Mac PC. Apart from streaming local media, you can access Plex Pass to watch Live TV, Movies, VOD, etc., from other servers or by adding plugins. Plex also allows you to download movies offline and stream them anytime with its unlimited DVR storage. Let us see two different methods to stream Plex on Google TV. Show
Subscription Plans for PlexIf you like to access all the content you can upgrade to the next level. Plex Pass offers three different subscription plans:
Note – You don’t need Plex Pass to stream the local files. Setup Plex on Google TVIn order to set up Plex on Google TV, you have to follow the three important steps mentioned below.
How to Setup Plex Server on Windows, Mac, LinuxAs we mentioned earlier, you need to set up a Plex Media Server on your desktop to sync the personal files. [1] Head to the official website of the Plex and download the server installation file on your desktop. [2] Install the server and set it up on your PC. [3] Now, upload the files (audio, video & pictures) to your server to watch them on your Google TV. [4] If you don’t know how to set up the server and upload the files, refer to the guides provided on the official site. [5] Note down the login credentials that you used to set up the Plex Media Server. How to Install Plex Media Player on Chromecast with Google TV[1] Connect, set up, and turn on your Chromecast with the Google TV device. [2] On the home screen, click on Search.  [3] Search or say Plex using the Google voice remote. [4] Choose the Plex app from the suggestions and click on Install. [5] Once installed, click on Open to launch the application. [6] Now you have successfully installed Plex on your TV. How to Setup Plex Media Player on Google TV[1] Launch the Plex app that you installed. [2] Click on Sign in and make a note of the activation code that appears on the screen. [3] Now, open any browser on your smartphone or PC and go to plex.tv/link. Sign in with the user account that you used to set up the Plex Media Server. [4] Enter the activation code in the required field and click on Link. [5] The app will be linked automatically with your Plex account, and a confirmation message will appear on the screen. [6] Plex app will ask you to sign up for Plex Pass. Choose the package that you want and go through the payment process. If you don’t want Plex Pass, click NOT NOW and stream your personal media files. Apart from installing the Plex app, you can cast Plex contents from your smartphone or PC to your Google TV. If you don’t want to use Plex, try other media centers like Stremio, Emby, Kodi, and more. I'm sorry about the slow response time on this, but first, I would check your network settings by using our recommended settings. You'll want to enable: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), multicast, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Then you'll want to disable: AP/client isolation, VPNs, proxy servers, IGMP Proxy. Then, if that doesn't resolve the issue, I would confirm if the issue is persistent when using the Plex app on the Chromecast, as well as when casting Plex to the Chromecast from another device. Google Cast and all Cast Web Receiver applications support the media facilities and types listed on this page. Some of these require additional coding or the Web Receiver SDK. See Create a Basic Web Receiver App for more information about developing your Web Receiver application to support these media types. Note: If you're having problems playing streams on a Cast device, it may be an issue with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). Use a publicly available CORS proxy server to test your streams.

Does Google chromecast play Plex?In order to initiate a cast to your Chromecast device using Plex while on a normal computer, you'll need to use a browser—specifically the Chrome browser. It is not currently possible to cast from the Plex Media Player or Windows Store apps. Chromecast also requires secure connections.
Can you install apps directly on Chromecast?Downloading additional apps for use with your Chromecast device can expand the device's wireless sharing capabilities. The Chromecast service makes use of custom-tailored Android apps, and you can download device-compatible apps directly from the official Google Play store.
Why did Google discontinue Chromecast?The third-generation Chromecast is now being discontinued as the device has reached its endpoint. Today marks the formal end of the third generation Chromecast, with the release of the Chromecast with Google TV (HD edition).
Does Chromecast with Google TV support DLNA?Google Chromecast review: DLNA/UPnP
Strictly speaking the Chromecast doesn't support DLNA/UPnP media servers, as it has no client. However, it can support them indirectly, just as you can connect an Apple TV to a DLNA server.
