How to Play Music From Your Phone on a Google Home

We bought a Google Home speaker when they were on sale over Christmas, mainly because we wanted to be able to play music in the kitchen and dining room where having a voice-activated device made sense. However, I was disappointed to find out that it wouldn't play music that I had stored on my phone. I had naively assumed that it would work as a Bluetooth speaker, but that's not the case the Samsung Music app doesn't support casting.

It took me much longer than it should have to find the simple solution–use VLC. I must be getting slow in my old age.
