Can't direct play 4k to Chromecast Ultra

[squelix 0]

Well I don't necessarily consider it a problem, that's just what it supports and doesn't support.

 

But yes the Shield can direct play more formats.

 

Thank you for all Luke and Doofus

I was going crazy xD

I think I'm getting to the root of this issue. I've posted my findings in the thread I linked to. But the Shield will treat you well

Hi I'm planning to buy either Chromecast Ultra or Xiaomi Mi Box S 4k but i don't know which one would do a better job. I use app called Stremio to cast torrents which are mostly hevc h265 ac3 codecs. Currently I use Chromecast Gen 1 and it just doesn't cope with more complex files. Any suggestions?

If supported media formats is your main choice, then you can find Chromecast ultra specs here:

The chromecast ultra will direct play mkv's or mp4's containing HEVC provided they have compatible audio.
