The VideoLAN Forums

Well forum members My VLC player, on my windows PC, can see my chromecast device but not stream to it anymore, but it cannot see my Roku 3 and therefore, as far as my VLC (3.0.8 Vetinari) is concerned, does not exist. Can anyone say if the VLC developers are working on restoring VLC's "long los...

Hi Unidan I'm somewhat mystified by your request, i.e. Can you supply a sample file? A sample file of what? I put my music CD into my PC's external player, start VLC, and make sure the "Renderer" facility, under the "Playback" menu option, is set to my named Chromecast device (Li...

Hi Forum Members and VLC Team Experts It seems a bit crazy that for months now it has not been possible to play audio streams, in my case music CDs, via VLC to Chromecast. After all, of the complicated things that have to be fixed in VLC casting to a Chromecast device should be one of the easiest. :...

I've just updated my copy of VLC from v3.0.7 to 3.0.7.1 Vetinari, in the hope that the ability to cast to my chromecast device would be restored. Unfortunately, that's one bug that did not get squashed and so I still cannot cast my digital albums via VLC. Therefore, can anybody give an ETA as to whe...

Dear VLC People, forum members and anyone else with this problem This thread seems to conclude that the problem with VLC casting to chromecast device is solved, yet for me, a non-VPN using, ordinary guy without any developing or programming skills, this problem still persists. Therefore, is this som...

Hi Unidan I did save that "hastebin" file, but I found that it can only be saves and recalled when using Firefox. So if you use Firefox to click on the URL in my 27th March posting then you should be able to recall it, as I just did. Here's the first few lines of my saved VLC error message...

Hi Unidan

I have saved my VLC error text file into https://hastebin.com/fobolumeru.php as directed, I hope you will now be able to examine this file and, hopefully, see the solution needed to re-implement the extremely useful chromecasting capability.

Hi Unidan

It looks like there is no way to send you the text file of my VLC error message?

Hi again Uidan I have the VLC error message but it is too big for the forum's "Code" function to work and, for some reason, I cannot sign up with or use "Pastebin.com". However, I have saved the error message as a text file, which is only 28KB is size, and I will be happy to send...

Hi Unidan Thank you for your very quick reply but unfortunately the VLC 3.0.7 nightly update does not work. I downloaded the 3.0.7 msi file, ran it, waited for it to settle and then tried it. The response I got was the same as 3.0.6. I then rebooted my PC, just in case some other part of the 3.0.7 u...

Dear Forum Members I have VLC 3.0.6 running on WinXP, which was working fine until I ran into an update problem on 19th March with AVG Internet Security. As you can imagine, the diagnosis of my AVG problem required the uninstalling and reinstalling of AVG, during this messing about VLC lost it's abi...

Hi Guys Thanks for your replies, for which I am very grateful, I will now reply in the order your posts were received:- 1) Remi You said, Seems like you changed the playlist settings to play and pause or play and stop. Not a bad guess but the problem started before I entered the "Playlist"...

Dear Forum Members and VLC Experts My problem should be relatively simple but I can't seem to find that "simple" solution, but first let me explain the software and hardware I am using and perhaps things will become more clear:- 1) VLC v3.0.4 Vetinari 2) WinXP Pro 3) Chromecast Device 4) D...

Hi Edward You asked: Do you get these problems if the file is played from the SD card? No, I do not save data or anything else to my SD cards on my tablet and, to tell you the truth, I do not believe tablets are sufficiently secure to take the chance. I also get another problem with VLC when playing...

Dear Forum Members I have run into a few unusual problems while using VLC on my Hannspree 10.1" tablet that, unfortunately, I am unable to do anything about. Here are the problems I am experiencing: 1) At random time, when playing a *.flv video VLC will stop/abandon that video two or three seco...
