Very surprised this isn't an option already. I would like to see this added.

This should have been an option a year ago.

Does not seem to impact all TVs the same way. Was ok on my Philips and LG, but horrible on an older plasma Toshiba. Though this was a problem with the TV until I realized that this is an overlay applied after a few seconds.
Please give us the option to (1) disable the overlay and (2) adjust its intensity depending on the screen or our needs.

This feature request has been marked P1 since the start of the year.
Any news on an update?
Is this the correct place for this request?

Thanks for checking with us on the status. Our team considered this request, however we don't have scheduled dates on this feature release.

This is one of those needling issues that drives people to adopt different software. I really just want to use Chromecast as a picture frame 90% of the time, but not with some third party app.

Please make this an option, the gradient ruins some of our photos.

Why doesn't Google give a credible reason why they don't want to fix this problem. It shouldn't be a problem to do that. It's making backdrop totally useless.

As something with a VERY high priority (P1) and a high severity (S2), why is it taking so long to correct?

I just bought an ultra and the first thing I noticed is the picture quality on the Backdrop pictures. Completely disappointed. Spent a few hours on the internet to discover that there is no way that the gradient can be removed. I'm surprised why it can't be a simple plain display of the picture as is. Please do the following
1. No zooming of the picture
2. No adjustments to the picture to "fit screen"
3. No dark gradient on the background
4. Also, a nice to have, please allow us to change/adjust the display time of each picture. Currently, there is only 0.5x,1x and 2x options, it makes much better sense if we can adjust the time in seconds. Have 5-second option to begin with and then increase by 5 seconds intervals for the next.
Please just let us turn off all the "fancy" features and be able to display the pictures as is

I'd love to see an option to display backdrop photos unmolested as well. I take great care to expose properly, edit, etc. and love to use my Chromecast with a Google Photos album to randomly display my favorite photos on my TV when I'm not casting media from a device. What will it take to get this 'feature' (I have a hard time calling it that) incorporated?
Description
Bug was confirmed on android-platform:
Reproduce: Run the original WiFiDirectDemo sample app on two Galaxy Nexus devices. Try connecting three or four times in a row. The first three times will likely get you connected. The 4th connect attempt will fail. If you keep trying to connect then, Android will soon crash and reboot. Verified with 4.0.2 stock (yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac) running on both devices. As well as with 4.0.3 master (Jan. 29th 2012) running on both devices.
More detail:
A+B: both devices will be set up to be client + server
(start 1st session...)
A: wifiP2pManager.connect()
B: CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION / networkInfo.isConnected=true
A: CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION / networkInfo.isConnected=true
(switching to ip)
wifiP2pInfo.isGroupOwner==true: new ServerSocket(port) /
serverSocket.accept()
wifiP2pInfo.isGroupOwner==false: new Socket() / socket.bind() /
socket.connect()
(both clients are communicating over input/outputStreams, fast,
trouble free ...)
(A: want's to disconnect)
A: sends disconnect token
B: receives disconnect token
A: socket.close; (isGroupOwner: serverSocket.close);
wifiP2pManager.removeGroup
B: socket.close; (isGroupOwner: serverSocket.close);
wifiP2pManager.removeGroup
(end of ip)
B: CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION / networkInfo.isConnected=false
A: CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION / networkInfo.isConnected=false
(start 2nd session...)
A: wifiP2pManager.connect()
B: CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION / networkInfo.isConnected=true
A: CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION / networkInfo.isConnected=true
... (everything good, just like in session 1)
(start 3rd session...)
A: wifiP2pManager.connect()
B: WifiP2pService: isGO: true / GO: null / interface: p2p-wlan0-3
A: WifiP2pService: isGO: true / GO: null / interface: p2p-wlan0-3
A: huh?
