The Google Chrome Blog says that updates to the new Apps supporting Google Chromecast should be rolling out in the next few days and that you need the latest versions of Android and iOS installed. I’m not sure what that means for Android users, but I assume that means 7.0.4 for iOS users. Those interested in Plex should know that you need a PlexPass subscription. Using the updated Plex App you can only cast video at the moment. Support for music and photos is promised for the future.
