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.
