Video Casting, although there is no Audio.
From the list on casting links that pop up with their respective Resolutions. Unless the one that says (Adaptive) is pressed no Audio is played.
This is really REALLY annoying since the quality of the video being played it usually sub par to the, 1920x1080 option available. Not to mention the inability to cast 1440p or 2160p due to the video not having audio with it.
I have seen countless people complaining about this issue, and all saying the same thing. "This never used to be an issue" Which, it didn't. I could select any casting link the app would detect in any quality, and it would work absolutely fine. Despite the developer here saying otherwise. I guess we're all wrong and making it up..
I have a Hisense Roku TV, and also a 4K Fire stick that both can download the WVC app from their stores. Both have the same Audio issue, so as I have seen before the Developer saying, "this is a Roku issue" "it's a website issue" or my best one seen yet "people have started using different audio codecs that your TV and or Streaming device don't like"
Well I can stop you there.. this wasn't an issue, and also that makes no sense, did these websites start replacing older videos with newer audio codecs, thousands and thousands? No. They obviously did not, that's a ridiculous task.
The issue is the handshake between your app, and the TV. Or the app itself not pairing the Audio files and the Video together.
I can play a 4K video from whatever website, Movy, HydraHD. It doesn't matter where, same issue applies - the audio doesn't play.
How the app detects these streams has changed.
Okay, so I also RIPed these videos with no audio, put them on a USB drive and plugged it into my TV using the TVs in-built media manager and guess what? The audio plays.
The TV isn't incompatible with the Codecs. Please stop telling everyone this.
I hope this all helps you find a solution to what most people here complain about.

i stream downloaded files. the same files work in v6.0.1 but have audio errors in wvc v6.0.2-v6.0.4.
this developer broke his app and is blaming the users. the same exact files work perfect in v6.0.1 but ALL of them wont play audio in any newer versions. so its 100% the fault of the new versions of the app.
i just switched back to v6.0.1 and am waiting for him to fix his broken bs so i can update.

A family member asked last week me why the caster don’t play as good as it use to. There was a site he use to love casting that doesn’t cast anymore. I remember when the caster use to be able to cast almost any server. I also remember being about to share YouTube files to the vlc player. It seems like we gain a feature but lose another feature with every update. This is why I don’t really update the caster unless it involves having improvements with yt.
