Chromecast multiple network interface issue

VLC jenkins@6948e7b24499 Nov 18 2016 04:28:30 Win 8.1 Pro / i7 5820k

VLC does not detect a chromecast when scanning. Other software such as Chrome detects and uses chromecast perfectly.

Starting VLC with --sout="#chromecast{ip=192.168.0.35}" allows VLC to attempt to communicate with chromecast. When playing media, the progress bar in VLC increases second by second. Chromecast springs to life and attempts to play back, but times out after a few seconds.

Do you have multiple network interfaces?

In a way, yes.. since VirtualBox has a virtual interface. However I have tried disabling this, and the issue is still the same.
