> Vlc version 4 is now shipping with the ability to cast to a chromecast, without any proprietary library. VLC actually uses a proprietary library for it, but doesn’t ship it. Specifically, VLC asks the OS to activate the secondary display, which leads Android to redirect this request to Google Play Services. This feature does not work on Amazon Kindles, Replicant, LineageOS, CopperheadOS, or any other non-Google Android distributions. Also, for full Chromecast support, you need to use 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:8.3.+' – which, obviously, is proprietary.
