Couldn't you do this by accessing your media via Emby's DLNA features?  Or, are you thinking something more slick?

Yes i suppose you could call it something more slick.

I was thinking of a per item setup, as a posed to just searching in vlc using DLNA to find what you're looking for.

Instead, have an option to stream something specific from the emby server web ui to vlc.

If VLC added the ability for it to be used as a DLNA receiver then you could cast to it via Emby.

VLC supports Chromecast if that helps.

 

Also, correct me if i am wrong but, if DLNA is enabled in emby no authentication is needed for anyone with in LAN to brows and stream from emby.

You configure the server with the user that will be used in that instance.
