Pictures and video taken on my phone are wonderful and clear, but when casted to the first gen Shield TV from the Pixel's Google photos app they are very pixelated, and not clear at all.

As a control, I can view the same pictures through the Photo Gallery app (connected to my google photos account) on the Nvidia Shield and they come up perfectly smooth.

Are there any settings on either my google pixel or the nvidia shield im not getting right. As of now, I just go into the photos app on my pixel and touch the cast icon and pick the Shield.
