There is a bit of information in the following thread about the how Plex have changed their method of authenticating.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/71mbsr/plex_inc_just_cost_me_my_favorite_hobby_and/

I just noticed today that casting from my Phone to a chromecast now displays "Media Unavailable".

Are others having this issue too?

Casting still works fine for me, it's unlikely the authentication would cause any issues for this configuration.

It shouldn't cause issues for anything, and it's a far more secure and better way to handle authentication for Plex.
For example by injecting a bit of javascript with Nginx you can capture all the passwords entered in the login form.

The whole iframe method is a little silly, and with a small tweak all those dashboards would work fine anyway, or they could reverse proxy everything and remove the iframe header..

Will leave this issue open for a few more days, but I'm not aware of any issues.

Appreciate the detailed response. Since you're not getting the issue I'll dive a little deeper. Could be something funky with my configuration.

Thanks

Nothing new on this so I'll close it off.
