how are you starting the plex player?

Android App?
Chrome Browser?

If you are using the Chrome Browser, you have to go to the plex.tv/web/app link, and then it will pop up a chromecast button within that web app. If you are trying to stream it using the Chromecast Extension in Chrome, and using the stream this tab option, the quality will suck.

Agreed. Casting tabs in Chrome is crap. I have mine only set to 10mbps stream speed over local network, and my 720p and 1080p content comes in flawlessly. I run the app on my phone and cast it from there.
