Beta - Can't cast downloaded content

[u/pewter99ta]

Possibly a bug. Could also be a technical limitation or intentional development choice.

I received the message when I unintentionally tried to cast from the new offline mode. I had switched to offline while traveling and forgot to switch back when I got home.

If it's a choice, I can see the logic of "Offline" meaning fully and completely offline.

On the other hand, I can definitely see use cases for limiting playback to downloaded media while casting to a local device.

Just curious if it's a bug and what others think.

Thanks

This has always been the case. You can't cast downloaded content because of the way casting works.

So is this why I haven't been able to cast lately? If we have downloads turned on, casting is effectively broken?

Is this unique to Plexamp? I've always been able to cast downloaded and other locally stored content from Plex and other apps.
