There is a new flag in the chrome browser for chromecast. Chromecast is that little thing you hook up to your tv so you can cast media from your computer or android device to your tv. So, before this flag was made available you could cast your browser to your tv (and any media playing in your browser). This worked but because it was mirroring your browser you got dropped frames and other things that took away the quality of the picture. But now, when Casting a tab to a remote device, enabling this turns on an optimization that forwards the content bitstream directly to the remote device when a video is fullscreened. This results in a better picture quality.
To do this, in the Chrome browser type in chrome://flags in the address bar. Look for the 3 little dots at the top right of your browser and hit it. In the new menu that pops up click on Find. Type in Media Remoting during Cast and it will take you to the flag. All you have to do is change it from Default to Enabled and you are good.
... The flags in Chrome are experimental features so they might get a little buggy sometimes but when all the bugs are worked out they get put into updates of the browser as default settings. Or they get removed completely. I've tried this for the past few days and it works pretty good. There is a noticeable difference in the picture quality. If you have a chromecast you should try it and let me know what you think. Read moreLess
