I want to stream a video and an audio file to the chromecast. The way I do it is:
cvlc "http://video" --input-slave="http://audo" --sout "#chromecast" --sout-chromecast-ip=192.168.178.51 --demux-filter=demux_chromecast
In this command the --input-slave is not played by the chromecast. If I remove the --demux-filter, the video and audio are played, but they are played like lightspeed.
Is there any solution? Thank you
