I'm having the same issue

Hi.  Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares?

Thanks.

Hi @Luke,

 

On the chromecasts i have the standard emby app available on the playstore on the chrome cast

is that not the correct one?

 

from the link you've added I'm redirected to "Emby for Android"  and the page says it's not compatible with the google chromecast device

Hi @Max6x6xdid you try downloading and installing the armv7 apk?

nope, i ordered now an usb -c hub with etherne port so i can add ethernet to the google chromecast 4k instead of using it with wifi.

although the strange thing is that even episodes of friends in 720p (x264) are stuttering mainly because automatically they start with the quality at 80mbps and i have to change it to 1mbps (that's the video bitrate) to make them work properly

(btw the chromecast 4k is a google TV device https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv?hl=en-US&pli=1)
