Chromecast stops randomly

Whenever I play a movie, the connection to Chromecast stops after a while and the playback resumes on the local video renderer. The interval between disconnects seems random, sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 15 minutes, ...

I'm using:

  • vlc-3.0.0-20171102-0458
  • Windows 10 Pro - 64-bit - version 1703 - build 15063.674
  • Intel Core i5-6500 @ 3.20GHz
  • 8.00GB RAM
  • Chromecast 2

I've had the problem on different file formats so I assume it's not related to the file format:

  • .mp4 (h264, aac)
  • .webm
  • .aac

I've attached the messages log. The disconnect happened on line 405.
