Hey all,
I have an issue with playback on my chromecast with some movies. They playback works fine on other devices. On my chromecast Android App the video is stuttering and moving slow. This only happens with some movies. Here is an example of pulp fiction not working:
Playback on mobile and in web browser works fine. It only produces issues on chromecast.
I used the ExoPlayer, it stutters there. When trying to use the LibVLC Player, it doesn't really even start playing.
Another movie (Dune 2) with much higher quality on the other hand plays fine:
I use my Nvidia NVENC for encoding and the process starts encoding when the media gets played:
When I deactivate encoding, it still stutters.
