Im looking at ChromeCast because it looks interesting for YouTube videos (and general flash videos) but I want to know If I can download those videos and play them with VLC and stream them to ChromeCast.
Thank you
Code: Select all
./vlc video.mp4 --sout="#chromecast{ip=x.x.x.x}"
1. Great info - thanks above for the different posts.vlc-git (presumably a future 3.0.0 version) can now send media to Chromecast. It is not available in the vlc-2.2 branch, so if you want to try it you'll probably have to build VLC yourself.
I tested with MP4 and MP3 and basic playback works.
Pausing and seeking doesn't really work, trying either seems to stop the stream entirely.
You can use it like this:
Replace x.x.x.x with your Chromecast IP of course.Code: Select all
./vlc video.mp4 --sout="#chromecast{ip=x.x.x.x}"
My main use-case is playing DVD ISO, which does not work, as far as I can tell anyway.
Code: Select all
vlc c:\videos\wherever\cat-video-3944.mp4 --sout="#chromecast{ip=10.0.0.12}"
