    Parents love the chromecast, after having complaints about their smart TV being slow I got them this for xmas(2023). They haven't had buffering and issues with speed yet. They do dislike the remote as it is small, easy to lose, and doesn't have all of the buttons they are used to.

    Got hung up in Plex and crashed my Plex server

    Everyone was raving about this streamer so I thought I'd try it out. I currently use an Apple TV 1080p and a couple Roku Ultras. Granted those devices cost 2x and 3x more than this Chromecast, but it was more sluggish right off the bat than all the reviews videos I watched. It's pretty slow to boot up as well, not that it should be booting up that often. I'm also prefer the plain jane UI's of the Roku and Apple TV to the Google TV UI. The nail in the coffin was when I tried to watch some full bitrate blurays ripped to my Plex server with the Plex app. They were very slow to load and one movie got hung up when I tried to skip chapters. The only way I could stop it from trying to play was to reboot my Plex server. Amazingly, rebooting the Chromecast wouldn't fix it. I put the Chromecast back in its box to return and played the same film through Plex on the Roku (ethernet) and even the lowly Plex app on my LG TV (wifi) and it played PERFECTLY. Wow.

      Hi JimBanville,

      We're appreciative of the feedback you provided us. We're sorry to hear of the performance issue with your Chromecast with Google TV.

      Your Chromecast with Google TV was designed to provide you with a smooth experience. We recommend on trying out the troubleshooting steps below to see if the issue could be related to factors other than your Chromecast device:
      - Ensure that your Chromecast is connected to your 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.
      - Remove other connected devices on your Wi-Fi network and see if you will still encounter the same issue. Should you verify congestion, then we recommend contacting your internet service provider for resolution.
      - We recommend a Wi-Fi network with 25 Mbps download speed that can ensure smooth 4K experience.
      - If it does not work, you may try restarting your Chromecast by going to Settings > System > Restart.
      - If it's still unresolved, perform a factory reset on the Chromecast with Google TV:
      a. While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on the Chromecast device for at least 25 seconds or until the solid LED light turns into a flashing red light.
      b. Once the LED light turns blinking white and the TV goes blank, release the button. The Chromecast device will begin the reboot sequence.

      If you will still face the same issue even after following the steps we provided, we need to find out what may be causing it. Feel free to contact us so we can improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Works well and quickly. Sometimes too quickly when holding down a direction to go across a row or down several rows-Zoom! The remote has better range than my Roku one does, a plus for the way I use these devices. It does sometimes feel a bit small. 4 stars because the app my wife most uses--like 98% of the time--is Still Not Available (on Android, Chromecast): AT&T TV. (but it runs on my Chromebook? Go figure)

    I love it compared to other streaming devices, but I'm currently having to order a new one, due to my oldest one connecting to wi-fi but having "No Internet". I've gone through all of the troubleshooting, read forums, and have decided to order a new one in hopes this will solve my problem. My oldest device had been hard-wired with their ethernet adapter, and after moving homes and swapping it to wi-fi, I had no luck getting it to work.

    A great bang for your buck. This small device does so much; however, be aware that you may need an outlet to plug this in. Some say you can plug it in the USB port as long as it is 2A but that wasn't the case for me, I got an error message stating there wasn't enough power. Otherwise the actual device works well and is very responsive.
