Your TV can be dlna compliant in many ways (so you can set the vlc streamer to be compliant with the specific TV capabilities). Some of those app are able to scan the local network or a range of local IPs (see below). You know them because you give from command-line/GUI. In some box TV, as the ones with Kodi, it's possible to add an app to connect directly the box to a streaming, simply knowing the IP (and port) of the stream. I had not fully understood the part that brings the signal to your TV, but I have the impression you can try to save the Client 1 instance too. Here some paths to try to save resources:Īgain assuming you were able to use the speakers with vlc, maybe you may be able to save the Client 2 instance disabling in the streamer ( Server 1) the audio redirection to the stream and using the speakers from there (start trying with -no-sout-audio). <<< If you specify an option you will force the execution with that option. > BTW vlc was (and still is) used to remember the last preferences modified in the last GUI execution and saved on exit. You understand how it can be "vicious": one time happens, one time no. It is a good practice to specify always the important options, to avoid eventual unwilled interferences from the options saved by a previous execution of the program. no-sout-video for video, -sout-audio -no-sout-audio (default enabled). There are many interesting options in this case, among them for the server -no-sout-display (default enabled), -sout-display default disabled, -sout-video. You can ask the huge one with -H ( -h is not enough, size matters when it is case sensitive :-)). Only the ideas trying to be useful to a wider audience and cover different hardware sets.Īny streamer program will have many options. Path for a less resource requiring solution (Ideas) This is the solution followed from the OP, after solving some problems peculiar to his OS, software, hardware. You can first connect two clients (eventually other two instance of vlc) to this server (to its streaming IP and PORT) and after you can start to play or pausing the streaming. Server 1: another instance of vlc as local streamer. So the quicker solution is to use (as made to have in sync different subtitles/languages) The problem is that they will hardly be in sync.

Client 2: with vlc you are able to use the Bluetooth speakers.Client 1: with vlc (or other) you are able to send the signal to your television via Chromecast.If this VLC feature doesn’t work well for you at the moment, try another way to watch local video files on your Chromecast. Having problems? This feature may just need some more time in the oven. At the time of writing, pretty much any other way to play back video would be better, for example, loading local media up on a flash drive and playing it back via a smart TV or set-top box.

When I tested it on my PC and SHIELD, the video was playing back with a lot of missed frames and audio de-synced by about a second. Afterwards, you can play video files without accepting the certificate prompt again.Īgain, this feature is still in development. When you try streaming in the future, you’ll just need to use the Playback > Render menu to scan and connect. That’s a VLC video running on the SHIELD via Chromecast. Use the controls in the VLC window to pause, fast forward, rewind, and otherwise control playback.
The video file should immediately begin playing on your Chromecast after you agree, with your Chromecast streaming the file from the VLC player on your computer.
Click “View certificate” to view your Chromecast’s security certificate.Ĭlick “Accept Permanently” to accept your Chromecast’s certificate.
Use the Media > Open File menu or just drag and drop a video file from your file manager onto the VLC window.Īfter you try to play the video, you’ll see an “Insecure site” prompt. Open a video file in VLC and click the “Play” button. If your Chromecast already appears in the menu, click on it in the list. To find your Chromecast, you’ll need to click Playback > Renderer > Scan. You won’t find a “Cast” icon in VLC-at least, not at the moment.
