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.
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:
