Anyone else getting the problem where when you choose the Chromecast icon in chrome it won't do a real cast of the video to your chromecast but instead will ONLY cast the tab (which has a lower quality/framerate)? Casting to my chromecasts works fine in the iOS app.

I can't see anything in my searches to find info on if this was intentionally disabled or what, so I was hoping to get some feedback from you all about it. Sorry if this was already reported, I didn't see it in the mega thread (which seems a horrible way to report and follow up on specific issues, hence making a new thread).

So yeah, assuming this isn't intentional, the bug report is just to bring back the functionality where the video player will do a normal cast to chromecasts instead of only trying to cast the tab.

Just curious: are you using the Chromecast button in Chrome itself, or are you using the Chromecast button in the actual video player?
