AirPlay 2 on new Roku Ultra has slow frame rate

Roku has ignored my bug report, but I wondered how prevalent the problem is that when using an updated Mac with Airplay 2 to extend the display to my newRoku Ultra (4800 series)  with updated software, I find that frame rates are unbearably lower. Usually, I am using VLC to play media, but it doesn't matter if I am playing media, the rate is very low. The router is using Wifi 6, by the way.

Sound is decent, but the frame rate is ~10, if I had to guess - maybe less.

 

I have performed all the usual reinstalls and resets on both devices. Also, I find that I cannot use QuickTime player to Airplay to the device AT ALL, which is why I use VLC (which doesn't have an AirPlay button, hence the "extend display" usage.

Try adjusting your frame rate.

You'll find the setting under Settings/System/Advanced display settings/auto-adjust display refresh rate.
