Your Chromecast with Google TV's next update might finally ditch the lag, what do you want them to fix the most?, share your thoughts.

I honestly doubt these performance enhancements will do much, Google TV is great but sorely needs better hardware. I would pay even the same price an Apple TV costs, if Google TV matches its performance.

Disable showing content from services I don't have (Netflix, Hulu, Peacock etc...) Everyone else has touched on the other issues. I mainly use Plex because of the lack of NTFS support; having "continue watching" would be nice, same issue with Amazon.

I think it is time to just make a new one this one is over 2 Years old. We need WiFi 6 and 16 GB of memory and a bigger TV remote , with 3 GB or 4 GB of Ram starting price of $65 dollar. You can still keep selling this one we all have now

Just sell it for 40 dollar.

A 26 dollar difference between the two.

The problem is hardware not software.

I want them to make a product that isn't already out of storage at launch.

Was able to get a few more technical tidbits from Google here: https://9to5google.com/2022/08/22/chromecast-google-tv-performance-storage-update/

I've been pretty happy with both of the Chrome cast with TV that I have .... I've had no issues,,, But if I would have to change anything maybe more memory.

Is the update going to add 16GB to the storage?

Small update then back to being abandoned.

I still have an issue where if I play something in Prime Video in HDR it won’t revert back to SDR when I’m done watching even if I exit the app.

It's weird that these kinds of performance improvements aren't part of an AndroidTV OS update.

And I assume Chromecast with Google TV will continue to roll with AndroidTV 10, even though AndroidTV 13 will be released shortly? (Apparently it didn't come out with Android 13).

AdditionalExcitement

I want it to stop jumping to "for you" by itself. I want it to be faster and have more storage space.

Any rumors on a hardware refresh?

It seems to be about time, and with the rumored mosaic mode (four streams at once) I am not sure current hardware will be able to handle it.

I can't find anywhere on when this update will be released?

Sold mine as 30% of the time my TV just showed a black screen until I switched HDMI inputs back and forth. Sold the TV as well and bought one with Android TV built in...now I can finally have just one remote.

Does this apply to other devices such as the onn 4k streaming box, Tivo Steam 4K, Nvidia Shield, etc?

Support for Storage Access Framework.

Without it, you can't write to removable devices.

I have more problems with google tv than I do with the actual CCwGTV device.

Making the volume buttons work

reddit_reaper

I want the CCwGTV to be more like the shield especially with Google play store being an actual app and not a tab.i hate that they force voice typing

I want 4k support for the ui, it looks bad on my 4k lg tv.

I switched after 3 years of using Chromecast with Google tv to Nivea Shield pro 1 month ago & never had problems with my Chromecast & put 120gb usb stick on day 1 i got the Chromecast and fixed all the memory prublems & also had my Chromecast connected straight to the internet box thru ethernet so it never buffered & ran everything no prublem with just a usb type c hub I bought at Amazon
