Settings for Chromecast Audio Quality

Postby skydesigner » 21 Oct 2019 11:13

Dear members of the forum! :-)

Can anyone tell me where to setup the quality of the audiostream for the Chromecast? If I stream music, the quality sounds like 160kbps (mp3). Surely there is a way to setup codec and rate?

thank you!

Hi,

I think you're on the wrong category of the forum. This is about the Windows Store version of VLC.

But as far as I know, it is not possible to change these settings from the UI when streaming to chromecast.

Hello,
yes, I am aware. You can also stream with the Windows Store Version.
I thought there might be some config-file where I can make those adjustments. I mean, it surely has to use some framework.

some framework indeed :) the VLC framework. It doesn't use the Google SDK. Read the end of that blogpost if you want to know more https://geoffreymetais.github.io/features/vlc-30/
As for the options, try these commandline options from VLC desktop only (not Store)

Code: Select all

--sout-chromecast-conversion-quality={0 (High (high quality and high bandwidth)), 1 (Medium (medium quality and medium bandwidth)), 2 (Low (low quality and low bandwidth)), 3 (Low CPU (low quality but high bandwidth))} Conversion quality Change this option to increase conversion speed or quality
Full list of options https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help/
Most have not been exposed from the VLC Store app UI.
