Make sure you have the latest version of VLC player. Otherwise, you may not be unable to stream.

Stream movies with VLC
The Google ChromeCast should be on. The HDMI and USB cable of the Google ChromeCast must be connected. If you turn on the Google Chromecast. Then it may take a while before it is available. When you see the background. Then the Google Chromecast is ready to stream.
Now go to the VLC program.
Click Play. Dan Renderer.
You’ll now see your devices where you can stream to here. In this example, I stream to the Sport space. The Dining Room is in this case a Google Mini. It only supports sound hence another icon.
Now click Media and then Open.
Find the file for what you want to stream.
