VLC Player is a a pretty household name by now with the media player being one of best and most popular on PC. It’s mobile compatriot apps are not yet quite as widely accepted, however things may be about to change as it has been confirmed that VLC for Android is getting Chromecast support soon. Interestingly, the VideoLAN development team had only initially mentioned Chromecast integration for the Windows, Linux, Mac and iOS versions of the player, however the Android version was confirmed soon after that.
Perhaps ironically, especially given that Chromecast is a product of Google, VideoLAN has said that Chromecast support would only be coming to the Android app after the iOS version. This is somewhat predictable though, as the Android app is still in beta, iOS having gotten preference, though it looks like the PC version is likely also going to be delayed somewhat due to a lack of SDK support. However, it has already been mentioned on the Play Store page that the next major revision of the app will remove the beta tag.
