poor resolution on chrome tab

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.

Chromecast Cast Screen Live

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...elect-devices-running-kitkat-4-4-1-or-higher/
Looks like it's finally live. Not sure if this should go in General or App section.

Does anyone have the Chromecast APK 1.7? can't find it posted anywhere. It's required per the announcement. http://chrome.blogspot.com/2014/07/mirror-your-android-screen-to-tv-with.html

Not needed for our devices. 1.7 i believe is needed for non nexus devices.
I'm on 1.5.5 and it works

That's good. I'm at work, so I assumed every device would need it.

It's very laggy for me ?? Hmm anyone else?

Yup the screen cast is working without app. Once the chromecast is detected on the network the cast screen shows up in the quick settings.
There is little bit lag but even the videos play quite well.
Not sure what I will use it for though.

I'm excited to try it when I get home. I actually tried to check yesterday and it wasn't working. I wanted to cast pictures and allcast was being very slow using Drive. I'm also curious to see how games turn out.

Kept failing to connect for me, gave the phone a restart and couldn't get the button to show up in the quick settings again... Going to bed for now, hopefully I'll have better luck in the morning haha

Honestly, casting photos is what I'm most excited about. AllCast has never worked reliably for me and the Photos app doesn't let you zoom.

Hey can someone try casting sling box or xfinity TV go this is very important to me because I stream all my cable for free on computers and thinking about canceling my ISP and just using T-Mobile.

Here's the link to the new Chromecast APK if native support isn't working. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...v1-7-screen-casting-integration-apk-download/

It works flawless with xfinity tv go app. Jus fyi

I'll be using it mainly for Xfinity app & emulators on my TV in my bedroom!

The first thing I tested it with was MXPlayer and a video format not supported by Chromecast. It worked flawlessly.

I tried flappy bird (I know) and it worked surprisingly well. Probably not 100% playable as there is an expected delay. However, I think other games that don't require constant input might work well. Video actually does work well for me. Also, I thought it was cool that if you lock the phone when casting it gives the CRT animation on the TV.

My sound doesn't work. Plays sound choppy distorted and very low. When I use normal YouTube with Chromecast not Cast Screen, it plays sound normal. Strange. Anyone else?

I have the same issue when casting screen however I'm running Android l and looking at the chrome cast forums here it looks like it's a bug with Android l or the beta chrome cast app

I was thinking the Walking Dead games would be cool to play with this.

[Q] little bit garbled and lower pitched sound

Hi all,
Yesterday I bought my chromecast and I've set it up without problems, but I noticed the sound played through the chromecast is just a little bit garbled and worst of all, it's pitched like a semi-half tone down. For movies and youtube this'll won't be a problem, but I play the guitar and when music is played, it's horribly out of tune.
I couldn't find anything on the internet as a solution. Does anyone encounter the same problem?
Setup:
Nexus 5 with cm11, android 4.4.4
Stock chromecast
1080p HDTV

Sounds like a dolby incompatibility....
Does the source have a dolby track and does this happen with a stereo content item?

Its with all content; whether its youtube, or casting my whole android screen, google music, I even tried it casting a youtube tab from chrome on my notebook. All same results.. Lower pitched sound and a little bit chopped.
But I sure do wanna try out everything. How can I find out wheter there is a dolby track?

If it is happening on everything then it is unlikely what I suspected it was...Especially if it happens on You Tube as well...
It could be a bad HDMI network connection between the CCast and the TV....
So try this....
1 - Try another input on the TV
2 - Try the CCast on a different TV and see if it still happens
If #1 solves it then it's that one TV Input, You can check the audio setting for that input but the CCast should communicate all of that and send the proper signal. (try re-plugging into the original input and see if the problem goes away)
If #2 has the same problem then it's a lemon CCast and you might need a replacement.

In a clear moment #1 has already come to mind, so tried another hdmi input, same results.. I don't have another hdmi tv before wednesday.. Will try it then and will post my results..

I just tried my chromecast on another tv and it worked normally, so it was my hdtv.
I checked the internet and there was an update. Updated and my chromecast works perfectly now!
Thanks for the input!

Good glad your all well....
HDMI is really a network so any small issues and it falls apart.

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.

Has your performance still sucked? I have a Motorola Turbo and Samsung H7150 and my screen mirroring is horrible.

Screen Cast
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.

[Q] issues with screen mirroring

OK, need your help here, comrades. Got my hands on S6\S6 Edge version of Gear VR. But I have problems with screen mirroring. Tried:
-Pairing with Chromecast. When I use the phone only - everything works perfectly, but just as i'm plugging S6 into the helmet (or glasses, not sure how you peeps call it over here), everything works for 5 seconds, and then picture freezes (on the TV)
-Pairing with TV using WiFi Direct - doesn't seem to work at all
-Connecting via MHL (which Samsung dudes claim to be working, but it ain't)
-Sacrificing chicken, dancing around the TV, screaming "CTULHU FHTAGN!" for an entire hour (doesn't seem to work either)
An interesting symptome - phone was downloading bunch of updates, while it was - everything worked slow (I mean mirroring), with lags, but it was working. Just when everything updated... (see "pairing with Chromecast").
Any advice?

I have the same issues with my chromecast, when i had the note 4 with the gear vr it worked perfect, now i have the s6 edge with new vr headset and picture is delayed and freezes and if you play a movie on oculus cinema it just shows a blank screen on tv. This sucks because i want my five year old daughter to play and i cant direct her on what to press to watch or play games
