I have the plex player running on my chromecast and all the faces appear to have a painted look.

The quality appears much lower than on the Xbox one and roku plex players despite being connected to the same network

I have the video setting quality at maximum

Xbox


Chromecast

There is a setting in the Plex app called "quality over local network". Make sure that isn't set to something that is less than the quality of the content you're streaming. Now that I mention it, are you sure you have a high quality video to begin with?

how are you starting the plex player?

Android App?
Chrome Browser?

If you are using the Chrome Browser, you have to go to the plex.tv/web/app link, and then it will pop up a chromecast button within that web app. If you are trying to stream it using the Chromecast Extension in Chrome, and using the stream this tab option, the quality will suck.
