Samsung 10.1 tablet : Will only receive youtube cast. Once cast is provided it does not play but open youtube and shows title with a black screen. It actually froze the device and had to hard rest. Netflix app dosent even see "cheapcast" Edit: Casted youtube again from Note 2 to Samsung 10.1 after reboot and video started but is not handled well.Very choppy and stuttering.

MK808 Android Stick : Device received youtube cast but very jumpy video and no volume control. Looks like when a dvd is not cleaned properly and repeats a scene. Netflix still does not show up to cast to this device either. Casted from MK808 to Samsung 10.1 and this time it started but quickly started getting choppy and stopped. Audio continued but not video. I went out of the youtube app and the audio continued. Had to force close Youtube app.

Everything is on the same network. Fast internet connection. Original Chromecast is visible. Any other questions or testing just let me know. So no netflix and youtube video keeps freezing and very choppy.

Netflix will probably never works because it relies on a proprietary binary present in "real" ChromeCast Devices, as for YouTube/Video Performance this strongly depends on Android's WebView. Some Devices handle it better than others.
