I recent got a new chromecast 4K. I’ve installed the plex app and tried playing a movie I have that is 1080p, 12.2Mbs, and it is was horribly pixelated, like it was too low bitrate. It was set to direct play.
I tried the same movie on my Sony android tv and it was crystal clear.
It’s not buffering at all and is direct playing, so it’s not a bandwidth issue. Any idea what the issue could be or how I can debug this?
The movie was sin city and has a lot of black and white so the pixelation is very noticeable
My Brother who has a Chromecast, the normal 1080P module or older not sure explained he had a similar issue and it was down to buffering on wifi we believe because after he moved his wifi to only 5Ghz it became better.
