Vlc 3.0 now compatible with chromecast

Chromecast changed the way we consume content on our television, since we can play multimedia content hosted on our phone, or that which is available on the Internet such as YouTube, Netflix, and a long etcetera. With this in mind it was inevitable that the VLC developer community would add Chromecast compatibility in the latest VLC 3.0 Beta release.

VLC 3.0 is now available with Chromecast

Because VLC is free and open-source software, all video and audio codecs of all existing formats are embedded in the player, so nothing needs to be installed, including the aforementioned Chromecast support.

The latest version of VLC 3.0 now allows you to detect Chromecast devices and send you music, videos and movies from your computer without having to configure LAN networks or anything like it from Windows, Linux or another system. VLC will also be compatible with streaming channels.

Chromecast will also come to Android

The creator studio VideoLAN presented VLC 3.0 during the last weekend in a quarterly conference and now they are working piece by piece to get to finish the final version of VLC 3.0, which is currently in a Beta state, they have not given a tentative date of the output of this final version. Among other novelties we could also highlight the OpenMAX GPU decoding on Android, support for Direct3D 11 videos on Windows and various performance improvements for Raspberry Pi.

VideoLan has also commented that Chromecast compatibility will come to the Android version later with the possibility of adding subtitles to content that goes via streaming. You can download VLC 3.0 from its official page.
