Chromecast problem from Android Tablet

Hopefully there's a simple fix to my problem. I've purchased a Chrome cast which works flawlessly with apps that have an integrated cast function e.g. YouTube, BT Sport. However I've also got some other videos in various formats that I would like to cast. My player of choice is vlc but this does not support casting.

After a bit of googling I've tried both MegaCast and All cast. MegaCast seems to want to cast but then just displays the get premium version of the app on my TV and AllCast can't find a player

Any suggestions please, I'm running Android 6.01.

I don't mind paying for an app but want to make certain it works before shelling out
 
there is one called videostream which is ery good for PC
 
I used to use allcast but found it a bit glitchy. I now use a app called web video caster which has some useful features that I didn't find in the other casting apps.

I've been using a free app called LocalCast which works very well. You also need a video player called MX Player, also free. Both are available in the Google play store.
