VLC Android crashes immediately when casting video to Chromecast Ultra
Description
VLC Android v.3.5.7 crashes immediately when attempting to cast a video (numerous formats tried) to Chromecast Ultra (latest firmware). Whilst VLC crashes, it does play a little of the video (5-15 seconds) and audio on the Chromecast, presumably the small amount that has been buffered as some videos will play slightly longer than others. Audio with no video plays fine. The video plays fine on the android device when not casting.
Expected behavior
VLC should not crash when casting video.
Actual behavior
VLC immediately crashes when trying to cast video.
