The VideoLAN Forums

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?

...I'm going to take a look soon!

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