## Common questions

### Does FlexTV offer a hosted version for people who do not want to manage a web server?

Yes, a web-only hosted version is available, and it runs the same code base as the self-hosted version.

### Can FlexTV control Chromecast devices?

A Plex Media Server plugin lets FlexTV bridge Plex Media Server and Cast devices.

### Is the current FlexTV branch stable?

The current branch is in beta development, so its code and features may change.

### Does FlexTV work when Plex is not on the local network?

Remotely hosted Plex can cause problems because most plugins assume Plex is on the same network. One user found a local FlexTV instance with a remote Plex connected through IFTTT to be the easiest setup.
