Bought from the same seller. Definitely worth it! Just take note that you’re gonna need a usb power supply since the provided plug is for US outlet (and no, a TV’s USB port won’t work). It supports Dolby Vision/HDR10+ too so it’s a godsend for people who have Plex servers like me brows.gif

Yeah need additional power supply. You can try your tv’s USB port but it’ll probably pop up an error message on your tv rclxub.gif

mind sharing more on how ur Plex servers work + dv/hdr + Chromecast is god send?

I basically store 4K bluray remuxes on an old laptop that acts as a Plex server (connected via lan to my router). Once you install Plex on the new chromecast there’s no need for a bluray player + hdmi cable combo. Can stream wherever in the house so long as can connect to router in full 4K/DV glory. So far the only format that it doesn’t direct play on my tv is Dolby TrueHD but that doesn’t take too much processing power to transcode anyway.

You need plugin the USB cable to power source, not TV USB Port.

For Plex, it is playable everything up to 4K HDR Streaming format video only.

The only cannot playback is 4K HDR REMUX video. This box is still under power for playing such high bitrate video.
No issue for 1080p REMUX video but not the 4K HDR REMUX video.

So own content I still use Apple TV 4K as Apple TV 4K (latest 2021) can playback up to 4K HDR REMUX video.

and connect to VPN, you will get full glory of this Chromecast with Google TV where For you is available.

You won't regret buying it, for Streaming services, Chromecast with Google TV did brilliantly. But if for playback everything, it can’t for 4K HDR REMUX video.

What makes you think CCwGTV can’t play 4K HDR remux? Mine indicates that it’s direct playing 4K HDR10+ in the native bitrate so I’m curious.

ur tv also wired? or wireless?

does ur TV need to be DV-ed 1st? or Plex itself will DVed it?

I wonder can this work if the Plex server is not in the same network
*
Wireless.

TV needs to be able to support DV/HDR10+ . If it doesn’t still no issue, CCwGTV will take the basic HDR . If your Tv can’t support HDR either then Plex will try to remap HDR to SDR but that’s gonna involve video transcoding which is extremely cpu intensive..

Because I had test and cannot. You are not playing in native bitrate. I got at least 500 4K HDR REMUX titles and 99% it cannot playback. Even can playback also not smooth.
It is not my network issue as no issue when running at Apple TV 4K Plex or Infuse Pro wireless or wired.

4K HDR stream version or lossy version can.

4K HDR REMUX version cannot. It just simply stuck all time.

I only playback actual quality, not letting Plex to decode or transcode as Plex decode or transcode reduce quality from actual, if decode or transcode then every format also can playback.

Not sure how to convince you it works for me. Most of my 4k remux files I take from m2ts files and convert into mkv using mkvtoolnix so no quality loss based on before/after mediainfo check.

Are you sure it’s not a network issue? Can you run a network test for me using analiti on your chromecast and let me know your result? If you’re a bit more technical can try run iperf3 to check ? On 5ghz I get around 250 Mbps..

The Black Phone 4/5. Horror/Drama.

It's good  :thumbsup:

Some points deducted for some certain plot holes but it's negligible overall.

Concur with this. Has IT vibes but the plot moved along quite nicely. Would've been a good teen movie if not for certain gore scenes..
