Hi, thanks for making this app ... I find it really useful. But the video on YT is limited to 480p no matter what video I play.

Is this a chromecast v1 limitiation or is there some tweaks I can make to make it work 1080p?

Here's the video quality options I have:

I just dug out it is due to proprietary codecs

I had a similar problem and I found a solution, it's implemented in my fork of this app. Your screen size + window size + zoom factor are things that somehow affect available quality. So decreasing zoomFactor in code and opening window in fullscreen mode, allows you to get up to 4K.
