[Issue]: High latency on Chromecast with Google TV (4K)

[PaulRicharte]

Describe the bug

Horrible perceived latency when playing on Chromecast with Google TV (4K) (played at 1080p60). The issue is not reflected in the performance stats. Network latency is ~3ms and decoding latency is ~7ms but perceived latency is ~250ms. No issue on an Android phone. Decoder used is OMX.amlogic.hevc.decoder.awesome2.

Steps to reproduce

Start streaming the latest version of Moonlight on the latest firmware for Chromecast with Google TV (4K). (GFE & Sunshine tested)

Has anyone here tried encoding in AVC or vp9?

I can confirm the issue. H264 is the same. Slightly worse, even.

I experience the same latency when using Moonlight on Chromecast with GoogleTV (4K), this latency is unrelated to the controller I'm using (it happens on the Xbox One controller or Mouse/Keyboard with Bluetooth).

What I found, is that this issue doesn't happen when using SteamLink. There still is latency, however, it's nowhere near the one present in Moonlight.

I'm streaming from a Windows Desktop, with the following specs - Ryzen 5900/32GB@3600/RTX3070

No noticeable difference when switching between different video codecs, resolutions or frame pacing.
