How to Stream Media from Plex on PC to Chromecast Using iOS or Android ?

Setup Plex Media Center for Playback via iOS or Android

Make one folder called Movies and in there different sub-folders containing the movie files. The same goes for TV Shows. One folder for a TV show, each containing different sub-folders for different seasons. This will make scanning by Plex really easy.
Now download and install Plex Media Server and open it. It will open in your default browser as a web view. In the example below we are adding music, but the process for movies and TV shows is the same.
Step 1: Give your PC a recognizable name.
Step 2: Click the Add Library button and select the media type you want to import (Movies, TV Shows, Music).

Step 3: Click the Add Folder button and browse through the root folder for all the media you want to add. Select the Movies or TV Shows folder.

Step 4: Click Add, then Next and you’re done.
Give Plex a couple of minutes to scan all the media.

The Hard Part Is Over

Setting up Plex was the hard part of the process. Plex Media Server runs on UPnP protocol (which stands for Universal Plug and Play). This means that any iOS or Android app that supports UPnP can access your Plex library when it’s on the same Wi-Fi network. And there are dozens of such apps.
Now all you need to do is open one such app, select the media you want to play and tap that Cast button you’re all too familiar with. Within seconds, the media will start playing on the Chromecast and your device will become the remote.

All the different apps have different UIs and features but this interaction doesn’t change.
