Site seems to be down?

 $ ping -4 trac.macports.org
PING braeburn.macports.org (136.243.18.213) 56(84) bytes of data.

Anyway,

VLC built from MacPorts can see my Chromecast but it cannot stream to it. Seems to be a missing module based on the log. The version from the VLC website works fine.

Log:
