Unfortunately no (actually I haven’t actively tried to resolve the issue). From the posts above I understand the component is broken, however I’m not a software developer to be able to make any of it.
My post was in regard of video files but what I wanted to do was to send songs from a specific playlist to Chromecast and, having all of these in HA, to automate based on moments of the day/days of the weeks.
If only playing audio files from a playlist is suitable for you, as an alternative (for sending songs to Chromecast Audio/Chromecast Audio Groups) you could try this:
I have both components mentioned in the topic (Google Music Playlists and Google Music Radio).
It works on HA with AiO (Python 3.4) and on Hassbian (Python 3.5 - I updated to Hassbian since AiO doesn’t support at the moment Python 3.5). I couldn’t install the gmusic component on Hassio (I’m unsure about the other installation methods).
Where is documentation now ? as links on first post are dead now Found the python script in your config directory but missing documentation to be sure to setup it correctly ! Thanks
Update: oki forget my message, realised it’s same component as the buggy official one for Plex in HA that is dead since ages
Could you post your config for Plex? Did you set it as a custom component?
With the default component it gets the errors mentioned by @salphonso but after making the modifications above, it still doesn’t work and no error thrown in the log.
The official Plex component has some serious problems since a while unhappy and I’m not alone (you should check on HA github), and it looks like programmer working on it is pretty busy
I’m trying to play a playlist in plex and getting this error:

How to set the attribute server in the PlexClient? or where is it defined?
The Plex Client is a raspberry pi with RasPlex on it.
Has anyone ever managed to get a Plex client with Plex DVR to launch a specific live tv channel (e.g. BBC NEWS HD) from a Home Assistant script or automation?
anyone who has it working could you post your code?
I’m getting this error in the log over and over:

FYI - I created a new custom component that properly combines HA’s included Apple TV and Plex media players into a single, rich player. You can check that out here.
