Stream to Chromecast

Postby bronto » 01 Jun 2018 18:31

Hello,
I'm trying to send vlc 3.0.3 of the command line movies to chromecast,
from PC with windows 7 32 bit.
Running audio and video are synced but the scroll bar speed is much faster then vlc ends before the actual end of the movie.
If I run the same interface GUI selecting playback, render, chromecast and run the video everything works properly
the bar continues with the right time and the movie ends correctly.
The command line that I execute is as follows:
start C:\"Program Files"\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --sout "#chromecast{ip=Chromecast.casa}" D:\Film\video.avi

I wanted to report this anomaly.
I think there's a mistake in the program, in case I'm missing something can you please tell me what ?.
Yours sincerely

vlc ./file.mp3 --sout "#chromecast{ip=192.168.1.11,mux= cc_demux}".

Please, let me know if you find how to work out a solution...

VlC Media Player most recent download in windows 10 Audio has a X on mute. How do I get it off mute? I made a $5.00 contribution.

You must put the IP and use the demux_filter.

Hi,
Long time after this post and because i was just searching now such information, by using VLC 3.0.0 I did this command line which running well in my case:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\Temp\test.mp4" --sout "#chromecast{ip=192.168.1.10, demux-filter=demux_chromecast}"
Note1: to get ip and other stuffs linked to chromecast i used the python lib : https://github.com/balloob/pychromecast
Note2: in case of scan issue it's possible to install apple "Bonjour Print service" to see if it could fix issue
