Chromecast Ultra - Codecs, Max bitrate etc?

[pinkfloydhomer 1]

When Emby plays to a Chromecast Ultra:

 

Which video and audio codecs are allowed for directplay?

Which codec(s) are used as default if transcoding is required?

What is the maximum bitrate supported?

To specifically answer those questions:

 

- All codecs supported by Chromecast Ultra

 

- h264 + aac/mp3/ac3

 

- You can configure the bitrate setting under app settings although I would suggest leaving it on Auto
