Cast media from Plex Mobile and Web apps to MPV. (Unofficial)
MPV Shim is a simple and lightweight Plex client, with support for Windows and Linux. Think of it
as an open source Chromecast for Plex. You can cast almost anything from Plex and it will Direct
Play. Subtitles are fully supported, and there are tools to manage them like no other Plex client.
