When chromecasting from UWP transcoded video has poor quality

Summary

Whenever I'm trying to cast video that requires transcoding from UWP, video has bad quality on TV. I tried setting '--sout-chromecast-conversion-quality=', but as far as I can tell it doesn't have any effect on quality.

Minimal project and steps to reproduce

Does it work on other plaforms? Does it work with the official VLC apps?

Observe same issue on VLC from Windows Store.
