poor resolution on chrome tab - Google Chromecast

anybody experiencing poor resolution quality while casting your chrome tab? I know my connection is not the problem because I have 54mpbs fiber optics...

Got to your chromecast extensions options and change the tab projection quality

yes already tried that and still same problem

I have the same problem. Any time I cast a tab I lose lots of video quality. When I cast the entire screen it looks much better but that won't allow audio streaming right now.

Netflix and youtube quality is great but chrome tab must still be in beta

<AOL>Me too</AOL>
Seeing the same thing. Casting the whole screen to my 1080p screen looks great. Casting a tab looks like someone miscoded an antialiasing routine.

Tab casting has nothing to do with your Internet speed, and everything to do with your internal network speed and PC power.
Your PC is rendering the page and streaming to the Chromecast. My HP Ultrabook can barely handle 3 frames per second using wifi, but my desktop does a good job at full 720p video hardwired to the router.

720p TV: Saving bandwidth

My TV happens to be only 720p. I assume that Chromecast will max out the streaming at 1080p on Netflix and YouTube whenever possible, as it's still pushing a 1080p stream out to my TV.
Like many ISPs, mine has a download cap. I was thinking it would make sense to limit to 720p, as I won't be able to tell the difference without a 1080p TV, and it'd save me bandwidth when streaming. It occurred to me that if there is no way to force Chromecast down to 720p, perhaps I can throttle it down.
I ran a test on my desktop, streaming a 1 minute YouTube video ("Lose Yourself To Dance" is conveniently 1:02 and available in 1080p). At 1080p it consumes 44 MB/min which is about 5.9 Mbps. At 720p, 17 MB/min or 2.3 Mbps.
On my Tomato router I can see the MAC address of the Chromecast under Status. So I assigned it to Quality of Service (QoS) class "C", and configured class "C" with a % of max bandwidth corresponding to roughly 4,000 kbit/s. This means any attempt to stream full 1080p will have buffering issues, but 720p will stream smoothly. I then tested it on YouTube and Netflix - everything still looks excellent. So clearly the apps are designed to drop down to a lower bitrate when necessary.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other thoughts.
I have no need for this but it is a great post and find. I'm sure this will help out many people who have bandwidth caps.

Oops!!!... I somehow read Netflix instead of YouTube. LOL. But I believe same thing applies to YouTube as well.
Anyway...I believe Netflix servers will sense your display resolution and send appropriately sized resolution vids to your TV. So if your TV cannot use the 1080p, it should drop down to the next highest setting your TV is capable of automatically. You should not need to set anything.
Someone with more technical knowledge and assist you further but I believe reading somewhere that Netflix holds multiple resolution copies of each movie file and will stream vids depending on your display capability and ISP speed.
I hope this helps.
This takes the guess work out of the equation though. Im sure the OP could monitor the bandwidth pre and post QoS to determine if that is in fact the case....Perhaps Netflix sends the 1080p signal if the bandwidth is there, but CC downconverts to 720p after the download....

The issue is, Netflix has no idea my TV is only 720p, because Chromecast is requesting the video at 1080p if possible. According to my TV's info screen, the HDMI signal from Chromecast is 1080p which means my TV subsequently downscales the signal. I figure that if Chromecast were "listening" to my TV's actual resolution it would be putting out only a 720p signal. So I strongly suspect it's using 1080p bandwidth even when that's excessive.

If Chromecast were downconverting, it would be sending a 720p signal to my TV. But it's not - it's pushing 1080p out and my TV is what's scaling it down.

This is an annoying flaw on CC, it does not let you choose the output resolution. I have a 720p projector but because it supports downscaling 1080p, CC would choose the highest resolution supported. I would rather have CC output my projector's native resolution than going through downscaling.
Just a quick addendum: Don't forget that QoS classificaiton rules on Tomato are ordered, such that if you add a new rule for Chromecast at the bottom, existing rules may override it. I realized today that QoS wasn't working when my roommate was streaming to Chromecast and the router showed throughput above 5 Mbps. The details screen showed me that no connections were being set to Class C. After pushing the Chromecast rule to the top of the stack, I was able to keep the bandwidth down to less than half of what it was before.
Having said that - now that I've throttled downstream to 3.2 Mbps I do see a slight difference in picture quality. It could be that the 720p stream has a bit of detail lost to compression artifacts - or other artifacts from the 720->1080->720 round-trip conversion - where the 1080p stream downsampled to 720p does not. But it's still excellent-looking from the couch position!
You can try to change your video quality settings from your account settings on the Netflix website:
-- I cannot post a link yet, but under the settings, it is "Manage Video Quality" in the 'Your Profile' section.
I don't know what the resolution would be if you knocked it down a notch, but you can make a change and see if it still looks good (enough) on your television.

I think this makes no difference. I believe this setting is ignored when streaming via Chromecast.

Wait, does your ISP event support 1080p (Super HD)? If your ISP has a bandwidth cap then it might not support it. Last time I checked, TWC doesn't support Super HD which is really lame.
To check, just google Netflix Super HD and click the first link.

A few answers to that:
1) Yes I believe Telus Optik is reported to natively support Super HD.
2) I'm using Unblock-Us to get American Netflix, which apparently also results in having an IP that supports Super HD. So I kind of have to counterfoil that by making sure it doesn't try and stream 1080p.
3) What I'm unclear on is whether Super HD is even relevant with Chromecast. Do specific DRM-authorized devices like Chromecast get access to 1080p no matter who your ISP is? Or do you need *both* an authorized device and a Super HD ISP?
I noticed recently that, even while leaving QoS disabled on my router, Netflix is using a lot less bandwidth and delivering a less crisp but still passable image to my TV.
I suspect that Netflix made a change either to the app or the backend that now respects the bandwidth setting in the Netflix account on Chromecast, whereas previously it would always play at maximum bitrate.

Is nobody aware that Netflix has a global bandwidth setting affecting all devices in your online account settings?

I am aware. However, my experience was that, until relatively recently, the bandwidth usage of Netflix on Chromecast was unresponsive to the global bandwidth setting, and it would use the maximum available bitrate. Even with my account set to the lowest bandwidth setting it was chewing up about 4000-6000 Mbps. Something changed recently and now it's respecting the global setting.

Slightly naive and off the topic but if I have a device like an Amazon Fire TV and I set the video resolution to 720 would Netflix still stream at 1080 and display at 720?
Not really a solution to your issues but unless you have no choice as it is the only access available you really need to find an alternative to tiered internet access if at all possible.
I live in a Rural area myself so I know this is not always an option for people.
If netflix is ignoring some global setting for your account perhaps there is a setting to reduce bandwidth being sent on the playback screen?

Terrible Tab stream quality

I just got my Chromecast and the Netflix/Youtube playback works awesome and I have no issues with HD, but when I stream a tab from Chrome on my Macbook Air it looks very bad. It looks the same no matter what setting I've tried and seems like there is glitching graphically, not just poor resolution. I even moved it from my TV to a desktop monitor that is close to my router and it does the same thing. Has anyone ran into this issue?
EDIT: Tried streaming a tab from my Windows desktop and it looks fine, so it appears to be isolated to my Mac.
It could be your MacBook not the chromecast.. I can share my whole screen and watch movies through chromecast without a hitch.
It diesnt sound like your WiFi is bad so it has to be your laptop

I tried installing the Chrome beta release and it works fine now on my Macbook. I was just worried that it might somehow be defective, though I thought that would be pretty unlikely since Netflix streams perfectly. I'm not sure why I would have issues with the stable release of Chrome, but it looks perfect streaming 720p tabs on the Beta release now.

Also while tabcasting I have noticed reducing the resolution does not impact much in image quality. I hardly see a difference. But it does reduce the stream quality. You/ anyone else having issues can try reducing the resolution to 480p using the gear icon while tabcasting. Ignore this if you are a videophile
Edit: nevermind the above. I actually did not see the attached image that is horrible quality. I did not had this bad of an issue. One more thing I have noticed is that it is better to have your laptop, connected to power, as sometimes on battery, the laptop OS power management may try to reduce wifi performance to save battery.

Do you have a 2013 MacBook Air? I had the same problem with mine but fixed the issue by changing a setting in Chrome:
Chrome browser -> Settings -> Show advanced settings... -> In "System" uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available".
Had the same issue and this ^^ fixed it.

I have had this issue as well using Samsung Chromebook I an stating to think it has to do with my processor.

Turning off hardware acceleration worked on my 3yr old basic computer. Going to try my Asus smart tab tonight, hoping for the same results

I'm having the same problem streaming video from within tabs. I'm using a Dell Laptop circa 2007 though. I don't use it for anything else and it's been gathering dust so I was a bit excited that I might be able to tab stream from it and maybe use it for ESPN, AMC, or HBO.
Turning off hardware acceleration did help, but I get stuttering and the audio isn't synced with the video. Switching to 480p didn't make much of a difference. I've updated all the drivers, but it's running Windows 7 and the drivers were made for XP.
I'm hoping a chromecast update may clear this up.

I'm convinced it is more a Chrome issue than Chromecast. I can stream 1080p video just fine if it is local. The quality stays, there is no stuttering, and audio is synced. It is only when I do online content that the issues show up.
Here's a link to the minumum system requirements for streaming.
https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3209990?hl=en
In my case, I'm running a t2300 core duo processor at 1.66 GHz. Graphics is an ATI Radion Mobility X1300. It looks like it's subpar at best based on the requirements.

I'm running a 1st gen i7 965 @ 3.2 GHz and 2 GTX 280's in SLI plus 12 GB of RAM with a Belkin N900 router and 105/20 Mbps connection and with my TV sitting less than 10 feet away the quality sucks!
I don't get terrible tab casting quality, but there's no doubt that the video isn't perfectly smooth. It stutters, skipping a few frames about once per second, which is pretty distracting. I'm kind of puzzled as to why.
The video plays smoothly in Chrome on the desktop system I'm casting from, whether it's an internet stream or a local MP4 file, so it's not a source problem.
I have a pretty fast desktop system doing the casting (Intel Core i5-3770K overclocked), and it never shows more than 14% CPU usage and plenty of free physical memory while casting. Switching resolutions between 480, 720, and 720 Extreme in the casting options makes a small difference to the CPU load (range 8% to 17%), but no difference at all to the stuttering video that I can see.
I think I get a pretty good connection to my WiFi-N router from the TV+Chromecast location. A laptop in the same location shows connected at 130 Mbps with Excellent signal strength. I can force a wide channel for even more speed, but it doesn't make any difference that I can see. Certainly normal internet video HD streams seem to be perfectly smooth when coming direct from Youtube or Netflix over WiFi, never a stumble. You would think that if WiFi bandwidth were the problem, switching from 720 to 480 would make a difference, but it doesn't.
So what's the problem here? Is it just a quick and dirty beta implementation by Google that doesn't do a very good job? Is there some hidden bottleneck? Is it impossible to re-encode video with high efficiency for casting on a typical system? (but in that case why are they using an algorithm that uses only a small percentage of one CPU core?)
I've tried some of the suggested tricks, like turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome, which increases CPU usage a bit, but makes not much if any apparent difference in smoothness of video. I've also tried disabling real-time anti-virus checking, but it's hard to tell if it's any better.
I not sure if there are any other Chromecast owners who actually get smooth video tab casting performance or not. People who say it's fine for them may not have looked very closely, and maybe wouldn't notice video stuttering unless it was pointed out to them.
There's more to it than CPU bandwidth but I can't say what.
I can say that I am well aware of what stuttering and frame loss looks like and I get little to none on a MacBook Pro that doesn't meet Google's requirements for tab casting.
I guess my point is that it's still in beta and we all can hope for better.
Have you tried using Plex?

I don't see how using Plex would make any difference. Plex doesn't have native Chromecast support, so I'd still be casting a tab.
Well whatever the problem is at least it only cost $35 because I would be really pissed if I paid more for it in its current state.

I went out and bought a n n150 usb wifi adapter for my desktop. It's an I5-33570k processor overclocked to 4.5GHz, 8 Gb of ram, and a GTX570 graphics card. I'm getting much better reslts from this than my circa 2007 dell laptop.. Video is definitely watchable and quality is generally SD or better. There is some very slight frame loss, which is noticable. The wifi signal is --60dbm where the chromecast is.
I still need to play around with some settings. I have the chromecast set to 720p, but not extreme bandwidth. For some reason unchecking hardware accelerationleads to videos not taking up the entire tab.
I have almost the same desktop system configuration as you Wrngway, and I get the same results: reasonable tab-casting performance with low CPU utilization, but still getting some very noticeable dropped frames.
I also tried my 2009-vintage Core-2 Duo laptop (P8400 CPU at 2.27 GHz). No good - 100% CPU utilization, the video stutters on the laptop screen and on the Chromecast it's just jerky frames and then it freezes after a few seconds. Dropping the res to 480p improves things slightly, but still not watchable.
Actually I have a new theory about what's wrong with tab casting that causes it to skip frames and stutter even though it's running at low CPU utilization. The problem is that it isn't buffering enough. When you compare the Chromecast TV output to the computer screen, it's obvious that there's less than 1/2 sec. lag. When the picture content changes rapidly in the incoming video stream, there's a spike in decoding/encoding performance requirement that momentarily exceeds real-time CPU capacity, causing frames to be dropped. An instant later it catches up when the performance requirement drops. The CPU utilization is relatively low on average, but there's still not enough CPU power to handle the peaks. The solution would be more buffering and less aggressive frame dropping. There's actually a buffer length setting in the hidden Chrome extension settings, but it doesn't appear to have any effect. In any case, the encoding algorithm would have be smartened up to not drop frames as long as there's plenty of buffer time to catch up.

1FPS Video if Audio mode is ON by casting a Tab!

I tried many things (Youtube, GMusic, ect.) what are working well, but cast a Tab not. I can cast tab or entire screen anytime with good quality and it seems to be continuous, the laptop (Corei5, 8GB RAM, Nvidia620) CPU load is about 45-50% @ 720p casting, works like a charm.
When I switch Audio mode on, the CPU load drops to 35-40% and I receive very good (continuous) audio quality and very low FPS (0.5-1 FPS - choppy) video quality. About the connection: the router, the laptop and the chromecast are within 3 feets on a router with 802.11n.
Do You have any suggestions, what I have to do to be able to cast with audio?

[INFO] Chromecast Cast Screen Mirroring Lag Test

As promised in another thread, I captured a video of the native full-screen mirroring lag.
Delay is half a second or less, video seems shows closer to quarter of second. Content doesn't seem to matter much - feels like the same delay mirroring streaming TV.
Sorry, the darn rolling shutter makes it pretty much impossible to discern the hundredths of a second, tenths are barely legible...
And please ignore the audio - my wife was wondering what I was doing... as usual. :angel:

I don't use XBMC but I've played TV episodes from Xfinity TV Go (which doesn't support Chromecast) and haven't noticed any problems.
Since the screen mirroring traffic is also going through WiFi along with your streaming it'll take up more WiFi bandwidth so signal reception on all devices involved becomes more critical.
I tried the same with AllShare Cast (I have an AllShare Wireless Hub connected to another input on the same TV) and while yet lag is similar, I noticed that WiFi Direct seemed to limit general network traffic more. My streaming playback video would break up from time to time. No such problem with Chromecast mirroring.

my chromecast was eating dust for 1 month because my g2 have so much lag over screencast that it takes 10 sec just to navigate. pictures and videos were like crazy late.
now i bought nexus 7 and man even the videos on my device runs smooth...
whats the issue with g2?? tried both stock, custom, g3 port and aosp.
laptop lag
Having this lag issue using cast entire screen even just on the desktop moving the mouse works fine using an s4 & g3 anyone have a fix yet?

Cast Screen works very badly.

I purchased the Turbo yesterday, there are many things I like but Cast Screen to my Samsung 2014 Smart TV is horrible, the videos are choppy and not worth watching at all, even something as basic as pictures is also pixelated and slow, my wife has Galaxy Note 3 with native Screen Mirroring feature and so does the TV and it works perfectly. Any suggestions or help to get my new Turbo to play smooth videos and pictures on my TV would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Has anybody used the Cast Screen feature at all? Any feedback is greatly appreciated..... continued, I tried WiFi direct; at first it would not even connect to my Samsung 2014 Smart TV, after much frustration I changed the wifi frequency on theTurbo from Auto to 2.4 gigahertz and it connected. My happiness was very short lived, my TV requires for WiFi direct to work that I install a Samsung app. called Smart View 2.0...which cannot be installed on the Turbo; it is not compatible.
I no longer expect that I will receive a reply here that will help me but at least I can be of some help to those sitting on the fence whether to buy a Turbo: If playing your videos from your phone on your TV is VERY important to you: Do Not buy the Turbo, if having a WiFi Hotspot without paying Verizon for double dipping is very important to you: Do Not buy the Turbo. If battery life, performance, reception, storage ( I have the 64 gb model) and overall good feel and looks matters most to you: BUY the Turbo. Good Luck
I can cast NHL Gamecenter to my Samsung TV with no stutter at all. I even have a crappy internet connection. I haven't tried any other videos, but photos are tack sharp. No idea why you might be having issues.
I also can cast Netflix or Slingplayer from the phone to my TV, works ok but it is also silly since my TV has Netflix built-in and Slingplayer plays my own TV channels, the problem I am having is with Screen MIrroring, that is what Samsung calls it, Motorola calls it Cast Screen, when I project my phone unto the TV screen the results are very poor, Videos are choppy and pictures load very, very slowly, when my wife connects her Samsung Note 3 to the TV the results are flawless, no lag, videos on her phone play in full 55" splendor perfectly, with the Turbo it is a terrible experience.
I was hoping someone here could try to play their own phone videos on their big screen HDTV and report back on results or better yet help me to get better results with my Turbo.

I don't know if my experience is helpful because I have a Sony Xperia Z3v and a LG Smart TV. I have much better success with screen mirroring (Miracast) when I have my phone connected to my 5GHz N channel of my router. If I use 2.4GHz, I get similar results as you or it won't connect at all.
Thanks for the comeback, I have a 2.4 gigahertz router so it is my only option, What I notice is a distinct difference in quality between my wife's Note 3 and my Turbo. It may be that since my TV is Samsung and so is my wife's phone, they are optimized for each other. In other words Motorola and Samsung don't like each other. Thanks again.
UPDATE: For reasons I cannot explain Screen Mirroring or Cast Screen from my Turbo to my HDTV is working perfectly and smoothly, I have the exact same hardware and software that worked terrible for the first 3 days of Turbo ownership, maybe I was not holding my mouth just right... now only one thing keeping me from the Perfect Turbo experience: I still have no WiFi Hotspot so I will have to hope an app. is developed that works without root or paying Verizon for double dipping.

I'm using Microsoft's Wireless Display Adaptor and I'm unable to stream Netflix. I get audio,but no video. Anybody else having the same problem? Thanks
I have the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and I have similar issues with casting my screen to two different Sony HDTV's. Videos from my phone drive will play choppy sound while projecting pixelated chunks of video to the TV. Netflix plays sound but completely refuses to show any video. I will try setting my phone wifi frequency to 5GHz and see. My friend can cast his Samsung with no problem. Might be time to just get an HDMI hookup.
