Chromecast Support Is Coming To VLC For Android,iOS,And Desktop Last week,VideoLan developer Felix Paul Kühne confirmed that Chromecast development had begun, at least for the iOS version of VLC. He subsequently added that the feature was also in progress for the Windows, Linux, and Mac desktop versions. Android appeared to be left out of the list, but Gigaom reports that Kühne later confirmed via email that the Android version would receive Chromecast support after the iOS version ships. No concrete dates have been given, but an email response to Gigaom indicates that the iOS version will come first, possibly as early as mid-July. The desktop and Android versions have no estimates, but a slower release for the desktop versions can surely be attributed to the lack of official SDKs from Google. Unfortunately, the Android version is still in beta and has been playing catch-up for a very long time, which probably explains why it has been given a lower priority. Its worth noting that the VLC for Android Play Store pagewas recently updated to suggest that the next major release would finally drop the beta tag. Along with Chromecast support, this will hopefully end the geographical exclusion of users in the United States.
