Many Compaints About Google Chromecast
Google chromecast TV dongle has been sold for more than one year. Chromecast fans were jubilant to discover that the judder gaffe was now being taken a little bit more seriously by Google, the report said.
The acknowledging a screw-up with the vid-streaming device made Google suprised. However, despite the moans, Google alarmed fans by saying it wouldn't be coming up with a solution to the problem because it was just too damn complicated.The original bug report was tagged as "WontFix" and stubbornly stayed stuck to that Google snub until the early hours of Saturday morning when the status suddenly switched to "Acknowledged".
A Google engineer said, Chromecast cannot attempt to handle changes in HDMI refresh rates since it is very hard to accurately identify the incoming frame rate.Blu-ray players can handle this issue because discs have extra metadata that would allow players to output at the most suitable rate. This is very hard to pull off with streaming content.
The problem? Most vid content in Europe is delivered at either 50 or 25 frames per second. The Chromecast, on the other hand, is hard-wired to send video over its HDMI port at a refresh rate of 60Hz. The European standard, meanwhile, is 50Hz.
The end result was a jittery picture for plenty of Euro folk.
The reports said, now that Google has at least acknowledged the blunder, customers are hopeful that a fix may materialise, after all.
