Even worse is that the Plex app on the newer Chromecast with Google TV features their streaming service very prominently, you can't turn it off and you have to click through several "layers" to get to my own media server. I'm not the only one annoyed with this.
So it's time for a change. This afternoon I should have some time to install Kodi (which Plex is based on) on both my laptop and Chromecast and see if that works better.

I'll be sad if the plex Roku app goes the same way. Currently, the streaming offerings are easy enough to to de-emphasize and I otherwise like the app a lot.
