Request: VLC Android, add ability to control chromecast volume

[rodp]

Hi All,

I know this has been raised a few times before but I'm just flagging this up again as I think it would be a really useful feature. Please could the ability to control the Chromecast volume from within VLC be added, using the phone's volume control buttons. This thread started the conversation https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/21006 but nothing much happened. Other apps provide this feature, for example BubbleUPnp, and so this must be possible. The suggestion of using Google Home does not let you control the volume without the screen being on. It would be great to simply adjust the volume of the Chromecast whilst the screen is off making it much simpler and quicker (just like BubbleuPNP).

If I need to post this in a different section, please advise.

Thanks
