  Maybe this is about Casting rather than Chromecast? Source: over 1 year ago

• Need some advice on how to utilize my TV as a monitor

  The problem is the desktop is too far away from the TV. If I wanted to connect them through an HDMI cable, it would have to be at least 7-8 meters long and the HDMI 2.1 cables (which supports 120Hz@4K) that I found online are mostly 3 meters long max. I have seen people suggest the Chromecast solution where I would run the Steam Link app but I am not sure where I would land performance-wise. Budget-wise I am a bit... Source: over 2 years ago

  Just so were' clear, you mean the $50 Chromecast with Google TV, not the $30 Chromecast, correct? If so, then you will have the newest interface. I have two of them, one paired with a Sony Bravia. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How do YOU, personally, use Jellyfin?

  If I'm at my computer, I'm likely to be working - and it's far easier to manipulate a scaled MPC window around the screen (to effectively view "picture in picture" alongside my work) than to switch between browser tabs or windows. Source: 10 months ago

• Just finished installing Windows 7. What are some must-have programs I should install?

  Also, it comes with a built-in Youtube-downloader! It officially went legacy a couple of years ago, but some genius' picked it up and rocks it since then again. Please donate a couple of bucks, I did too! Source: about 1 year ago

• It is me Again with the GREEN issue :/. Should I just uninstall after effects at this point? I used to have 3 month long projects done solely in AE and now it doesn't even handle a single file :/ Thanks for all replies

  ProRes and DNxHD/HR are essentially similar editing codecs. The OP can literally create ProRes clips using Shutter Encoder. If he needs to view the media on a PC, he can download MPC-HC here: https://mpc-hc.org/ I'm not even a Windows user and I see this question asked and answered by friends of mine regularly.
