Casting VLC to chromecast result in black screen with only the title of the file displayed on TV

Using VLC 3.0.6 chromecast doesn't work. It connects normally, but video is black and playback isn't going further. It's stuck at 0:00.

Hi, this should be fixed in the next release of VLC. It was broken with updates from google.




VLC 3.0.6 is broken with chromecast 1.36.140076, but it is confirmed working with nightly 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek (revision 4.0.0-dev-6281-gaf93e96577).
