Just recently grabbed the chromecast with Google TV and was streaming a video from the internet earlier today and though the chromecast had no trouble optimizing when I went full screen, it would not last for more than like a minute or two. Essentially, it would switch back to mirroring and say something about poor playback quality. I tried optimizing it like 6-7 times with the same results. I thought it might be the stream so i hooked up my 3rd generation chromecast and it not only optimized but stayed optimized the whole time on the first try. So i know it wasn't the stream or my internet connection.
Anybody else experience this issue with the Chromecast with Google TV and know any potential fixes? Is this something that could be resolved through a firmware update?
Thanks for any input!!
Can't you cast instead of mirroring? Most streams support cast these days.
