Hi,
I recently purchased a Chromecast with Google tv. I previously had a Xiaomi Mibox 3 and overall I'm happy with the much faster Chromecast. I use this one in particular to play videos stored on my Synology NAS via KODI. I have no problem playing x264 videos of around 20 gigs. Reading a file in x265 (HEVC) format does not work correctly, however: it is very jerky (an image every 2/3 seconds and sound does not work correctly). I tried with several files and the result is always the same. My old Mibox 3 played these files perfectly, so I think the Chromecast must be able to do this too.
Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Chromecast with Google TV (CCwGTV) had huge issues playing HDR on SDR TVs, but they fixed all of that in the Google TV 12 update which came out 1 month ago!

It now plays HDR smoothly on SDR TVs. The tonemapping has some ugly color artifacting sometimes though, so it's best to play SDR content if you can find it instead.
