How To Easily Cast Local Content From Your Android Device To Chromecast Using VLC

Not long ago, the popular media player, VLC, got updated (version 3.0). Among the updates is the ability to cast local content from your Android device to Chromecast.

VLC is developed by VideoLAN and is a favorite among PC users which may probably be due to its ability to play just about any file type and handle almost all types of video encoding you can throw at it.

Despite its success on the PC platform, VLC has failed to capture the media player market on Android. But it seems likely that things are about to change with the new updates.

Among the updates that VLC has just made on its Android app, the best is the adding of Chromecast support for its Android app, which actually has been long overdue. With this support, you'll now be able to cast your local device playback to a Chromecast device.

Steps to casting local content from Android to a Chromecast

Step 1
Download and install VLC media player from the Play Store, or update to the latest version of VLC if already have one but have not yet updated it. If you don’t see the update yet, you can join VLC beta program that is also available on Play Store and get the update that way.

Step 2
After the installation of VLC 3.0, launch the app.

Step 3
Tap the menu icon in the top left corner of the home screen to open the overflow menu.

Step 4
Now tap on directories and pick where your content might be stored or just open a list of all of the video and audio files on your device.

Step 5
Tap on the Chromecast icon in the top menu bar. This will allow you to choose which Chromecast-enabled device you want to cast content to.

Step 6
Finally, select the video or audio file to send it to your Chromecast device.

How to Easily Download Movies for Free From Fzmovies on Your Android Smartphone (Updated)

Posted by Chris Iteh Fzmovies have been a favorite among Nigerians for years in downloading movies. Why? Because the site has a large array of movies in various categories that, though in smaller formats, are of high quality, that is clearer picture viewing for smartphones and tablets. Most important, the movies come in smaller sizes (some ranging as low as 150mb depending on the movie's running time), making it easier for faster download without wasting your internet data and storage space of your device. Another great thing about the site is that you can also download TV shows and cartoons, in avi and mp4 formats. Fzmovies also have a free mobile app which allows users to download films easily. However, for sometime, there have been problems opening the site, but now it's back with a new look and better features that makes it easy to navigate through the website and download films. Still, some people are struggling to navigate through the site ...
