How to cast from vlc android to tv?
I use VLC to cast to my smart TV almost daily! Here's how it works:1. Make sure both devices are on the same WiFi network - this is crucial!2. Open VLC on your Android and start playing any video3. Tap the cast icon (looks like a rectangle with WiFi waves) in the top right4. Select your TV or Chromecast from the list of available devices5. Wait for connection - it might take 10-20 seconds to establishIf you don't see the cast icon:- Check if Local Network permission is enabled for VLC in Android settings- Try Playback > Renderer from the VLC menu instead- Restart both your phone and TV if devices aren't detecting each otherNote: VLC can cast to Chromecast, Miracast, DLNA, and AirPlay devices. The quality is usually excellent, and it handles almost any file format without conversion needed!
Having issues with VLC casting? You're not alone - here are some troubleshooting tips from my experience:Common problems and solutions:- "No renderers found" - Check if your TV's casting feature is enabled in settings- Stuttering playback - Try lowering the video quality in VLC settings- Connection drops - Move closer to your WiFi router or reduce network congestionAlternative methods if direct casting fails:1. Use your TV's built-in media player - Enable file sharing on your phone and access files through TV network browser2. Try BubbleUPnP app - Sometimes works better than VLC for casting3. Screen mirroring - Use Android's built-in cast feature instead of VLC-specific castingFor advanced users: VLC can also stream from network locations directly - just enter the URL in Open Network Stream and cast it to your TV.The official VLC documentation has more detailed guides: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/Personal tip: I've found VLC works most reliably with Chromecast devices compared to smart TV built-in casting.
