Reproducible BUG iOS/Chromecast

[taylorfusion]

I have a reproducible. bug report for the latest versions of VLC, Chromecast and portable iOS products (iPhone 8-12, iPad Pro).

~Install latest version of VLC (3.3.7 (432))
~Open > Network > SMB > any file share on same connected home network)
~Open file (.mp4, mkv, .mov, etc)
~observe Airplay, Chromecast icon availability in upper right corner
~connect to Chromecast network successfully
~Play movie
~successfully playing movie on Chromecast connected TV

## at this point, entire movie may or may not play. Sometimes, the app will crash. OR, the movie will play fine throughout.
## the issue is, if either through a crash or you STOP and CLOSE the app, the second time you open VLC, only AirPlay icon re-appears; Chromecast icon will remain missing until an uninstall/re-install of VLC occurs

I have not seen this exact issue on this forum so am posting here
thanks

I heard about this issue on the App Store reviews, but I was unable to reproduce since late February as I was far away from my Chromecast. This situation changed this weekend and I'm going to take a look soon!

Hello kuehne,

Were you able to reproduce as well on your latest Chromecast device?

fkuehne, can you reproduce the issue or does Chromecast option remain visible after multiple sessions, post install?
