AxelAxel3 23 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 When casting from any client (android, web, iphone), the quality of video on the Chromecast is very very poor. Netflix and hulu is very HD, so I know its specific to MB. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shudder 1 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I can't confirm that the quality is that poor using ChromeCast, however I also noticed that the bitrate (obviously 10Mbps) is too low to properly display high quality content (> 1080p) whereas the stick itself doesn't seem to be the limitation as Netflix and others are doing well. Is there a way to manually set the bandwidth or why does it never use more than 10Mbps? @alexander7567: The admin dashboard shows information about transcoding details once you hover over the "active sessions". What does it say when you are casting media content? Edited December 8, 2014 by shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The receiver caps it at 10 or 11 MB because any higher and it gets unstable. 10 is pretty high though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The receiver caps it at 10 or 11 MB because any higher and it gets unstable. 10 is pretty high though I didn't know that. I'll have to adjust my bitrate selection dialog so it doesn't request values that are too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelAxel3 23 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 So does anyone have any suggestions about this? I am still having this issue...

AxelAxel3 23 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 So I'm guessing that since you replied with that, it means that this is not an issue for everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So I'm guessing that since you replied with that, it means that this is not an issue for everyone else? Not an issue here. Video PQ is excellent. What BitRate setting do you have set? In my Android app, the CC BitRate setting is 20Mb/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 i also have no issues with chrome cast, how far away from your wireless AP is your chromecast? maybe not getting a good enough signal strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
