Sony XZ2 Compact

Post by 403 »

Hi, Im running into a strange but 100% reproduceable issue:
Im using VLC on my phone, Im open to any other free video player suggestion if this would solve my problem for sure.

So, now whats going on:
if I start UMS, then start VLC on the phone, UMS will detect a new device and recognize it as "chromecast". Wouldnt be that big of a problem, but when this happens and I want to watch a video file, audio playback start but on the screen it stays in file select mode.
Yesterday I registered here and thought about uploading a trace log, but miracously my device then was recognized as "VLC for desktop" and the video file was starting just fine. Every following attempt was also fine.

Today it was the exact sane issue, but I was able to pinpoint a workaround.
1. start vlc on phone
2. start UMS software
3. recognized as VLC for desktop
doing it in this order will lead to success.

When home, the phone is always using IP 192.168.178.83.

* 7.2.0 is installed today.

Thanks.

** In the end, I deleted Google_chromecast.conf (I dont have that anyway), now my phone is recognized as "android" and it works as expected. A few files I opened just to test all started correctly.
