+*************************************
+Installing VLC on archlinux:
+*************************************
+
+
+**Download the up-to-date package from the official archlinux repository (*Recommended for beginners*):**
+
+**Run:**
+
+      .. code-block::
+
+             pacman -S vlc
+
+
+To run VLC using Web interface:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+* From the command line -
+
+Run VLC with parameter
+
+    .. code-block::
+
+           vlc --extraintf=http --http-host 0.0.0.0 --http-port 8080 --http-password yourpasswordhere
+
+Default Port:`8080 <http://localhost:8080/>`_
+
+.. note:: To allow remote connections, edit :file:`/usr/share/vlc/lua/http/.hosts` and restart VLC.
+
+
+
+To use Chromecast support:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+To use Chromecast support, follow either of the following methods:
+
+* Install:
+
+1. `libmicrodns <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=libmicrodns>`_ - To find the chromecast device listed in *Playback > Renderer menu*.
+2. `protobuf <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=protobuf>`_ - To enable streaming in the selected device in *Playback > Renderer menu*.
+
+This might conflict with other software using mDNS/DNS-SD.
+
+* Setup an Avahi server:
+
+Avahi is a networking implementation used for multicast DNS/DNS-SD service discovery, which is often available by default in linux OS. In most Linux distributions, Avahi daemon is run with disallow-other-stack=no by default (secured mode).
+The VLC module for avahi can be found `here <https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/bonjour/>`_.
+
+Refer `Avahi: archlinux wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi>`_ for installation instructions.
+
+
+Troubleshooting
++++++++++++++++++
+
+If libmicrodns is installed in addition to Avahi daemon, in the default secured mode (with disallow-other-stack set to "no"), Chromecast support does not function.
+
+To allow Chromecast support to function:
+
+1. Run Avahi daemon in insecure mode with disallow-other-stack set to "yes".
+
+2. Allow discovery of chromecast devices with the Avahi DNS-SD resolver.
+
+
+Tips:
++++++++++
+
+
+1. To install and apply a new skin in archlinux, make sure to store the downloaded skin in :file:`/.local/share/vlc/skins2/`
+
+2. A list of FAQs and documented bugs can be found on the official Archlinux documentation:
