    • HEVC hardware decoding on supported devices (Android TV)

      There are a lot of Google cast equipment available that supports hardware decoding of HEVC.

      • Chromecast Ultra
      • Android TV: Nvidia Shield TV + other china variants.

      Videostream lets us stream to Android TV devices, but treat it as a regular Chromecast. Therefore HEVC files gets trancoded on the "server" PC before streamed to the device, which is very CPU intensive and often leads to lag/ stuttering.

      I wish in future updates Videocast could differentiate the various Google Cast devices, and by the specs decide whether a stream should be streamed directly or transcoded.
