CCwGTV freeze and lag

[mikejs78]

Up until about a few weeks ago, Remote Play was working perfectly for me. I was streaming to my Chromecast with Google TV easily at 1080p/60fps with no lag. Now suddenly for the past few weeks the video will freeze for a few seconds, or the game will start to lag, I'll see artifacting. I haven't changed any settings.

Both my Chromecast and PC are wired over Ethernet, and bandwidth tests seem fine.

Any help here?

Same problem. Same CCwGTV. Valve isnt helpful

Interesting it was working well for you at all. I have a CCwGTC and the ethernet adaptor. No matter the settings, I could never get a smooth stream going, always stuttering. I have an nVidia shield and a hardware steam link as well, both work much better. I assumed the CCwGTV just doesn't have fast enough hardware to decode the stream and maintain 1080p 60.

I got it working again! When I had first set it up, I had set the bandwidth limit to 75 M/s because auto was bugged. Now, setting it back to auto fixed the above problem for me.

I found that CCwGTV works for me by setting hardware encoding on the host end (to your specific GPU, assuming it's powerful enough and supports HEVC), and setting the client to use hardware decoding, HEVC, and low-latency network mode. Wired Ethernet on the CCwGTV and your host is essential.
