At the time of writing, pretty much any other way to play back video would be better, for example, loading local media up on a flash drive and playing it back via a smart TV or set-top box.
HOW TO CHROMECAST FROM VLC ON PC PC
When I tested it on my PC and SHIELD, the video was playing back with a lot of missed frames and audio de-synced by about a second. Afterwards, you can play video files without accepting the certificate prompt again.Īgain, this feature is still in development. When you try streaming in the future, you’ll just need to use the Playback > Render menu to scan and connect. That’s a VLC video running on the SHIELD via Chromecast.
Use the controls in the VLC window to pause, fast forward, rewind, and otherwise control playback. The video file should immediately begin playing on your Chromecast after you agree, with your Chromecast streaming the file from the VLC player on your computer. Click “View certificate” to view your Chromecast’s security certificate.Ĭlick “Accept Permanently” to accept your Chromecast’s certificate. Use the Media > Open File menu or just drag and drop a video file from your file manager onto the VLC window.Īfter you try to play the video, you’ll see an “Insecure site” prompt. Open a video file in VLC and click the “Play” button. If your Chromecast already appears in the menu, click on it in the list. To find your Chromecast, you’ll need to click Playback > Renderer > Scan. You won’t find a “Cast” icon in VLC-at least, not at the moment. First, ensure your Chromecast and your television are on. Once you’ve downloaded and installed the appropriate version of VLC, you can get started. The PC or Mac you’re using to stream needs to be on the same local network as your Chromecast device, wired or wireless.
HOW TO CHROMECAST FROM VLC ON PC ANDROID
Oh, and of course you’ll need a Chromecast device, or an Android TV device like the NVIDIA SHIELD (because they can accept Chromecast-standard streams, too), or a television that uses Android TV as its software (like one of Sony’s newer TVs). This feature is currently only available in version 3.0 of VLC for Windows and Mac, so you’ll need a Windows PC or Mac and an up-to-date version of VLC you continue.
