VLC over Chromecast reproducible bug
Posted: 23 Dec 2023 05:11
I have a reproducible bug to report for VLC, Chromecast and iOS products (iPhone 8-12, iPad Pro).
~Install latest version of VLC
~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
## the issue is, once you 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 !
Thank you for any assistance troubleshooting this. I have no idea why my Chromecast devices disappear from VLC after a fresh install and an Open/Close of the app.
