Hi,
is there any news about this issue? Still persists on last version of VLC.
It seems to be worse on live stream (like the one played from SMB shares) than media streamed from the device.

changed milestone to %3.1.9

Sory but i have this 3.1.9 version installed in my iPhone and the problem still persist.

This is indeed an issue frequently complained about on the App Store.

The issue still persists.
I think it should be a Milestone %3.2.0 since chromecast mirroring is so important.

So it seems somehow VLCs state gets a bit messed up, even though it still has the Chromecast connection, it tries to play audio locally apparently and things break, the log is full of:

2018-08-06 10:36:01.144163+0200 …] VLC is looking for: 'f32l' 48000 Hz Mono frame=1 samples/4 bytes

2018-08-06 10:36:01.158010+0200 …] reusing audio output

Unfortunately the log does not actually mention which module created which log message which makes it a bit hard to read it…

(The AVAudioSession error is: AVAudioSessionErrorCodeCannotInterruptOthers)

changed milestone to %3.4.0

Hello Do you think it will be fixed in next release 3.3.0 ? Because have this problem for 1 year Thanks

Ditto this would be amazing if fixed

Also it should be able to continue chromecast after incoming/outgoing phonecalls both when app is in foreground and background, Thanks.

mentioned in issue LibVLCSharp#266 (closed)

This has been fixed by !95 (merged) and shipped with VLC-iOS 3.2.4.

As for the incoming/outgoing phone calls, this will be tracked on a separate issue.

changed milestone to %3.2.4
