Server Version#:1.29.1.6276 Player Version#: 9.1.0.35737 Google just pushed out android 12 for the Chromecast Google TV 4k dongle. Multiple reports coming in from friends and from my own devices that this new update breaks direct play/play original on every file tv/movie file. It is a black sc…

[image] per_PLEX_ed: Just adding my voice that as of yesterday, after updating the Chromecast TV, Plex won’t play anything any longer. Same issue - revolving ircon. I followed some of the advice above such as selecting letterbox (which was already selected) did not solve the issue. We have swit…

[image] per_PLEX_ed: Thank you, @yossSP . Is that temporary until Plex releases a fix, or permanent? It’s a temporary fix, sure Plex developers are on the way to fix the issue. Other media apps do the resolution and framerate match fine with the CCwGTV in Android 12.

I have DV mode in chromecast settings set to low latency ( if not some streaming apps dont show dv after A12 update) Tested …

The latest beta (9.11.0.36101) resolved the issues with auto refresh and auto resolution switching as well. The only thing that seems off is the new “Seamless” frame match option for Android 12 does not seem seemless at all as there is a black flash before each video. That said, whether I select “…

Is the suggestion to keep the two auto switch options turned on for Plex, and “Non-Seemless” for CCWGTV option enabled? I believe that was also creating the black flash as well, but can check again.
