cpu usage?
-
when im streaming video my cpu usage is at 100%. is this normal? or ok?

Is this all videos or specifically HD quality ones? Are they 720p or 1080p? Is it effecting playback?
-
playback is smooth on everything. cant believe how smooth it is really. tv shows at 720p around 1 gig dont tend to run at 100%. seems like its movies at 720p around 3-5 gig. my pc is wired to my router also.

@zero66 Well thats a plus then :-D

CPU usage will go up very high if the video you selected is encoded in a way the chromecast cannot read! It will increase only a bit if the audio format is wrong! The videos you are selecting (i,e, mist MKVs or AVIs, etc.) need to be converted on the fly by us, which uses a bunch of CPU! Be happy, a lot of peoples' PCs cannot handle this process!

@matt they are movies at 720p mkv format. is it hard on cpu or am i worrying too much? thanks!! awesome work too!!

@zero66 It's not bad to use all the CPU! It's only a problem in terms of some peoples' max and still can't transcode fast enough so they get lag. No lag, no problem :)
