Damn near every tv is a smart tv so you can cast from your account without having to enter your credentials into a TV that ain't yours
I do it every time i'm in a hotel or airbnb
But they have smart tv...at least everyone I've stayed in the past 10 years...Netflix is built in 100%...I get bringing a fire stick for Paramount or out of country use with vpn access but who doesn't have netflix?

Their platform, their rules :yeshrug:

Would people want to do the legwork of building a plex server from scratch or go the iffy IPTV route where you have flexibility or be at the mercy of the ever changing policies of Netflix
You talking about niche interests now Blanket.......

IPhone is so popular because its easy and simple, literally what I hear most people say.......

Asking people to build, shyt asking them to setup a nas box is many steps too far considering the lack of brains people display........on top of then asking them to create an arr stack......the thought is making me giggle because it's not hard.....at all...........hard drive costs would scare people off I immediately....... currently need a couple 26 iron wolfs.....:to:

Reread what I said
A ton of times I've come to an airbnb or hotel and turned on a streaming service and it was already logged into to some previous guest account. Me and my girl be joking that we be fukking up cacs algorithms. casting from your phone/tablet avoids all that and saves time/adds security

Hyatt still uses chromecast. Nobody wants to sign in on some weird device.

Makes no sense to remove the feature. Would never use it unless I’m at an AirBnB/hotel
