But i would like to do it without a cable, just thru WiFi like Windows 10 mediaplayer does, or like Chrome does, or like YouTube does.Connnect your whatever TV to your computer using HDMI cable. Then you can direct computer screen to TV. You can also use TV as second monitor. Search windows forum for this!
If your TV has miracast support, you can use it to mirror your computer screen to your TV. If your TV does not have, you can buy a miracast dongle. This is done wirelessly using miracast.

1. CAST: Cast is the easiest method to play a multimedia from a PC on to a Smart TV called Smart as they have an Operating System. However file formats supported for casting are limited to MP4, WMV, AVI, MOV for video and MP3, WMA, WAV for audio. The audio system of the TV can either be built-in or externally connected to a Hi-fi system.
The Cast setup requires that (i) the PC and the Smart TV are connected to the same Home WiFi network (ii) Network discovery And File sharing are enabled on your currently active network profile (Private / Public) through Control Panel > Networking and Sharing Centre > Change advanced sharing settings (on left panel).
Just as networking needs to be configured on the PC, similarly networking has to be configured on the Smart TV through the Settings menu, to either establish a peer-to-peer direct communication path Or inter-connect by hooking up to a common access point. As with any operating system, a network once created on a Smart TV, persists as the default network until a new network is created.
To play a video, Open File Explorer on the PC, right click on the video file and from the shortcut menu choose Cast to Device > Smart TV (name). It may take some time for the PC to search for the TV on the network before displaying its name on the shortcut menu.
Select the TV name on the shortcut menu and the media will automatically start playing on the TV, with the Cast Window for media control appearing on the PC. You can use the PC for other work by minimising the Cast Window while the media continue to play on the TV.
Once a TV is successfully linked to a PC, the TV-name gets registered in the Devices list under Windows Settings and the TV-name will be readily available thereafter in the Cast to Device menu.
On Windows 10, Casting is the simplest and most reliable choice for playing multimedia files from PC to any TV.
Well it seems no one here on VideoLAN forum have an answer or simply skip the threadHi Zavorra
I'm in the same situation. I have a Samsung TV and I try to cast VLC on my TV in the same way Window Media Player do it
unfornately for me, WMP don't manage correctly audio tracks and subtitles. VLC do that but seem to don't detect my Tv
(and my PC is Wired, I can't use Miracast or other programs like it)
VLC isn't a modern app. This is a very reliable and simple player but it's old. I suppose that the average age of developers about 50, so they are too old for this --please stay polite-- like WiFi and SmartTV. Good 'ol cable connection is the best and robust waybut i still don't understand how a modern program like VLC can't do this simple cast.
