VLC 3.0.8 on macOS constantly buffering when rendering to Chromecast
Posted: 19 Apr 2020 06:59
VLC on Mac with Chromecast (Ultra) is basically unusable. Is anyone else having this problem? Videos just buffer and buffer for minutes, and only play for a few seconds, if I'm lucky.

Anyone experiencing similar poor performance and know how to fix?
Only VLC on Mac has this problem - casting from the VLC app on my phone or any other app works smoothly.
