VLC是您可以在计算机上使用的媒体播放器，但它也是一种将视频和音乐发送到 Chromecast的便捷方式。将VLC与Chromecast结合使用，您可以在几秒钟内与电视共享几乎所有媒体文件。

也许您想在电视上播放 iTunes，将一些家庭视频发送到客厅的大屏幕，或者通过VLC流式传输某些内容并将其转发到您的HDTV。无论出于何种原因，VLC都让您的计算机连接到Chromecast变得非常容易。

将 VLC 媒体文件投射到 Chromecast^{(Cast VLC Media Files to Chromecast)}

第 1 步^{(Step 1)}：下载并安装 VLC^{(Download and install VLC)}。如果您已经拥有它，请确保它是版本 3 或更高版本，因为那是添加 Chromecast 功能的时候^{(that’s when Chromecast functionality was added)}。

Tip: You can check the version you have through the Help > About menu.

第 2 步^{(Step 2)}：打开播放^{(Playback )}>渲染器^(Renderer)菜单，然后从列表中选择您的 Chromecast。

如果您的Chromecast未在列表中，请仔细检查它是否已通过电视上的USB端口或墙上插座打开。还要确保Chromecast和您的计算机在同一网络上。

第 3 步^{(Step 3)}：使用媒体^(Media)菜单导入要在Chromecast上播放的文件。可以选择仅选择一个文件或整个文件夹。您甚至可以从光盘驱动器投射网络流或光盘。

VLC接受许多文件格式，包括流行的文件格式，如MKV、MP4、FLV、MP3和WMA。

注意：如果出现“性能警告”通知并且 Chromecast 上没有播放任何内容，请单击“确定”将文件转换为 VLC 可以使用的格式。^{(Note: If a “Performance warning” notification shows up and nothing is playing on the Chromecast, click OK to convert the file to a format VLC can use.)}

就是这样！您的电视现在应该正在播放您告诉VLC播放的任何内容。

您还可以通过Chromecast播放其他内容，例如Netflix、YouTube、Chrome标签，甚至您的整个桌面，但这些内容都不需要VLC。

要记住的事情^{(Things to Remember)}

• 视频或音频文件应在VLC^(VLC)连接到Chromecast后立即开始播放，但您可能需要等待几秒钟，具体取决于计算机和网络的速度。如果文件没有启动，请单击在VLC中播放。

• 通过Chromecast^(Chromecast)将媒体文件从计算机投射到电视的另一种方法是首先在VLC中打开文件，然后按照上面第 2 步中的说明连接到^{(Step 2)}Chromecast。从那里，您可能必须点击播放按钮才能开始播放视频/音频。

• 转换可能需要很长时间，尤其是在您尝试投射长视频时。如果您知道VLC不会处理文件，除非它已被转换，请考虑将文件转换为兼容的文件，然后再将其添加到VLC。

• 点击VLC中的停止按钮以退出在电视和计算机上播放视频或音频文件。或者，要停止从Chromecast播放并仅在您的计算机上观看或收听，请返回到上面的第 2 步，但选择<Local>。

How to Use VLC With Chromecast

VLC is a media player you can use on your computer, but it’s аlso a handy way to send videos and music to your Сhromecast. Using VLC with Chromecast lеts you share nearly any media file with your TV in seconds.

Maybe you want to play iTunes on your TV, send some home videos to the living room big screen, or stream something live through VLC and forward it to your HDTV. No matter the reason, VLC makes connecting your computer to your Chromecast very easy.

Cast VLC Media Files to Chromecast

Step 1: Download and install VLC. If you have it already, make sure it’s version 3 or newer because that’s when Chromecast functionality was added.

Tip: You can check the version you have through the Help > About menu.

Step 2: Open the Playback > Renderer menu, and then select your Chromecast from the list.

If your Chromecast isn’t listed, double-check that it’s powered on either through a USB port on the TV or a wall outlet. Also make sure the Chromecast and your computer are on the same network.

Step 3: Use the Media menu to import the file you want to play on your Chromecast. There’s an option to select just one file or a whole folder. You can even cast a network stream or disc from your disc drive.

VLC accepts lots of file formats, including popular ones like MKV, MP4, FLV, MP3, and WMA.

Note: If a “Performance warning” notification shows up and nothing is playing on the Chromecast, click OK to convert the file to a format VLC can use.

That’s it! Your TV should now be playing whatever you’ve told VLC to play.

You can also play other things through Chromecast, like Netflix, YouTube, a Chrome tab, or even your entire desktop, but none of those things require VLC.

Things to Remember

• The video or audio file should begin to play immediately after VLC connects to the Chromecast, but you might have to wait a several seconds depending on the speed of your computer and network. If the file doesn’t start, click play in VLC.

• Another way to cast media files from your computer to your TV via Chromecast is to first open the file in VLC and then connect to the Chromecast as described in Step 2 above. From there, you might have to hit the play button to start the video/audio.

• Conversions might take a long time, especially if you’re trying to cast a long video. If you know VLC won’t handle the file unless it’s been converted, consider converting the file to something compatible before adding it to VLC.

• Hit the stop button in VLC to quit playing the video or audio file on both the TV and your computer. Or, to just stop playback from the Chromecast and watch or listen on your computer only, return to Step 2 above but choose <Local>.
