Chromecast on CRT

Getting a Chromecast to work on a CRT TV in the correct aspect ratio (Or as close as possible).


Original Setup

The TV I am using only has RF input over PAL-I. Originally, this setup had a Raspberry Pi via a AV receiver and then subsiquently an RF modulator to give the RF output connected to the TV. However, the Pi is slow and unreliable in my experience, especially when playing YouTube and Spotify. It would also not play any HEVC-encoded content as I assume the scaling down to 625 lines w/interlacing was too much for it.
