This built fine on amd64. I tested it out by watching an episode of a
cartoon encoded in h264 in an mkv container with aac audio as well as
watching part of a bluray rip in vc1/m2ts with ac3 and dolby truehd
audio. I also tried playing some free iptv channels I found on github
(|https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.country.m3u|) In all cases,
playback was flawless.
I tried using the new chromecast renderer functionality, and that
however didn't work. When trying to cast, the "Renderer" selection just
says "scanning" forever. I made sure that avahi, messagebus and
multicast(4) were enabled and functioning when testing out the
chromecasting function. The chromecast is visable when running
"avahi-browse -a" and I can see the mdns packets coming in with tcpdump,
but I see no traffic leaving the machine when VLC claims to be scanning
for renderers to cast to. I may be missing something obvious here, as
the chromecast functionality worked out of the box on Linux.
Cheers,
Jordan
