VLC problem

Hello All! With the up to date (fresh install) EOS there is no Chromecast menu in VLC. Its missing. Its there with another distros with same version.
It was there a week ago on EOS too.
Is there any solution.
Thanks

Looking at the optional package dependencies of vlc, you may need to install libmicrodns and/or protobuf for chromecast to work.

Also, look at the arch wiki entry about this.

Thanks! Strange because it worked a week ago…

Doesn’t work. :frowning:

Did you follow the instruction from the arch wiki? Specifically editing the /etc/nsswitch.conf file?

Sadly I can’t help you any further, because I don’t use Chromecast.

At first, be sure to follow the Arch Wiki exactly:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VLC_media_player#Chromecast_support

Also:

Did you ever do a

sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon.service

and subsequent reboot ?

If the service is up and running, and chromecast on VLC still doesn’t work, you could start “digging around” here:
