| # On my machine VLC fails to connect to chromecast. If I specify the IP it fails to connect because of certificate errors. I can | |

| # Set your ip address below and call this script with the filename. | |

| gnutls-cli --save-cert=chromecast.pem --insecure $CHROMECAST_IP:8009 | |
| mkdir -p ~/.local/share/vlc/certs | |

| vlc "$1" --sout "#chromecast" --gnutls-dir-trust=/home/$USER --sout-chromecast-ip=$CHROMECAST_IP --demux-filter=demux_chromecast |
This didn't work for me; however, creating a firewall exception for VLC on port 8009 did work. Might be worth giving it a shot.
--gnutls-dir-trust=/home/$USER should be --gnutls-dir-trust=/home/$USER/local/share/vlc/certs
