We’ve also seen reports of HEVC videos crashing issues on Github with respect to ExoPlayer on Chromecast with Google TV, but still no official solution has been provided. And those who have been waiting for a proper fix are getting frustrated with lame replies from Plex’s support team. It has been there for the past few months and even though it was acknowledged back then, it is still under investigation.Ĭhromecast with Google TV crashing bug with Plex player is still haunting users in different ways. This bug was initially reported in April and remains unfixed until now. I only back out to the season/show or plex home screen, then it will freeze and reboot. If the auto-play video starts zoomed in, I can sometimes back all the way out of plex back to the google tv main menu and avoid a crash. This is constant and easily reproducible for me. If I choose to play the next episode it will be displayed zoomed in and eventually the player app crashes and takes the device with it. If I choose to play an episode of a show (MKV HEVC) it plays well.

Additionally, hitting back crashes the Chromecast and it has to be restarted.
