googlecast / castreceiver Goto Github PK

I am developing a custom receiver app for an ott platform where we need to send an authorization token as a request header for decrypting our content. Can anyone help me with how I can add the custom header for hls content?

I have been following the instructions in the README.md file -

I got to point 5 -
Using the Chromecast setup application, make sure [x] send your serial number to Google is checked. This is the only way that you can access your unpublished receiver

I can't find that option on the Google Home app - but equally, I'm not sure what the [x] signifies - does that mean that this is not longer required?

I carried on with the instructions.
Step 7 says :
Enter the App ID of your receiver application into your sender application or one of our sample sender applications listed above.

there are no sample sender applications listed above. Clicking on the link to https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/sample-apps (am I missing something?)

We are a DRM provider and as part of our product we need to customise the Widevine request that is sent to the license server. We are seeing that the CAF framework encrypts the post request, as such the license server cannot decrypt the request. We use a token based system, the token need to be added to the request body before being sent. The POST needs to be unencrypted in order for us to use the KID and token to server a license.

I am trying to use the playbackConfig.licenseRequestHandler to add the token and if I breakpoint there and take the request and fire it at our license servers using Curl it works. I am confident it is the framework/CDM encrypting the request, but we don't see this issue in Chrome. any help or suggestions would be happily received.

I have included our licenseRequestHandler function below

function licenseRequestHandler(request) {
        request.body = JSON.stringify({
            token: token,
            drm_info: Array.apply(null, new Uint8Array(request.content)),
            kid: kid
        });

        request.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';
        return request;
    }

hi, when I load a link which includes cea608/708 tracks, cast.framework.TextTracksManager.getTracks() cannot get the cea608/708 tracks.
is there any else method to get cea608/708 tracks and activate it ?

Hello.
I have a CAF configured, I can change the audio track but when I select an audio track with 5.1 sound, it changes to that track but the receiver does not change to 5.1. Someone can tell me if it requires any extra configuration that tells you to change to 6 channels.

Thx!.

Hello everyone, I seem to be unfortunately late to the google-cast dev party and wanted to develop a simple casual game for the cast and after looking the reference docs I've seen that they have seem to deprecate the possibility to create games, which is a real shame honestly :/ APIs like the GameManager seemed to be totally awesome, but is now deprecated.
I've seen now that the current API (CAF) doesn't really have the same useful APIs I've seen from the previous v2 for games, so I'd like to know if they were a clear path to migrating to CAF for casual game development, because the official docs don't seem to say anything about this.

Maybe @jtromo has any light to shine on this?
Thank you very much

Hi,

ISSUE
I'm trying to load a live stream playlist in HLS format but custom receiver is not working. Video is freezing in random moments during any time. After 20 minutes or 30 minutes, chromecast leave session and shutdown it.

MEDIA FORMAT
We are using HLS v3 and HLS v4 version.

FIXES
We try to fix it with HLSSegmentFromat TS or AAC and StreamType LIVE. This configuration is not working.

Have you any idea about what is the problem?

Thank you,
Jesús Martínez

Hi Team,

I'm trying a find a solution where multiple senders should not be connected to a receiver.

If a receiver is already connect to a sender and another sender tries to connect, it should disconnect the previous connected sender and connect to the new sender.

Please let me know, how it can be done?

Hello I have created the chromecast receiver correctly and I can cast dash , mp4 and hls videos correctly. I also implemented drm license request using licenserequesthandler.

I want to know how can I add custom headers to manifestrequest and segment request? I want to check specific headers for media to be streamed like custom User-Agent, adding extra header.

so far I have done:

playbackConfig.manifestRequestHandler = requestInfo => {

 // requestInfo.withCredentials = true;
  requestInfo.headers['User-Agent'] = 'Mozilla 6.0 firefox';
  
  
   };

On SDK document, it's said

A Web Receiver app may tear down when "The Web Receiver app has been idle for a defined period of time without any connected senders and decides to end the application session".

Looks it's 5 mins.

Is there some api on receiver or sender side to customize this time?

Thanks

sample HLS manifests:

1. https://cdn.theoplayer.com/video/elephants-dream/playlist-single-audio.m3u8
2. https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8

rather than going into excruciating detail, I'll summarize:

• tested on Chromecast gen. 1
• tested with:
  • Cast Receiver v2
  • Cast Receiver v3 (CAF)
  • chrome.cast.media.DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID
• sample streams won't play
  • other HLS manifests that don't include any in-stream (subtitle) text tracks do play well
    • this generalization also applies to HLS manifests that contain video streams with embedded/muxed closed captions

questions:

• is this a known issue or limitation
  • I only own gen. 1 devices and haven't tested on newer hardware, which shouldn't matter as this is clearly a software issue
• do these streams work for you?

questions (not directly related to issue):

• assuming this issue were fixed, what is the correct way for the sender to manage the visibility of in-stream (subtitle) text tracks?
  • should the master manifest be parsed by the sender and the URL of each inner #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES manifest be added and managed as an external text track?
• is there a similar API to manage the visibility of embedded/muxed closed captions?
  • can they even be displayed on the Chromecast?

update: docs for the TextTracksManager class seems to answer these questions

Hi i'm using TTML subtitles image format. There is a way to implemet in the receiver my own TextDisplayer interface like in the issue below.

shaka-project/shaka-player#2182

Thanks

I am trying to disable the receiver logs but even running the following command it still displays the logs:

cast.framework.CastReceiverContext.getInstance().setLoggerLevel(cast.framework.LoggerLevel.NONE);

This started to happen after the update on September 9, 2019.

Is there a way to get a debug output from the Chromecast? I can successfully cast some videos, but some don't work, and I am having a hard time understanding why (it's an HLS setup).

Would be great if I could see why the Chromecast is not happy, like "Some CORS headers are missing" or "invalid video format" or something, instead of blind guessing.

Is there a way to do that?

On the custom cast receiver, I'm able to play videos successfully. However, once the video ends, the player goes to the IDLE state and shows the default home screen. What I want is to make the same video loop continuously. How to make this happen?

This is how I build my media Request

function buildMediaRequest(exerciseData) {
  const loadRequestData = new cast.framework.messages.LoadRequestData();
  loadRequestData.media = new cast.framework.messages.MediaInformation();
  const metadata = new cast.framework.messages.GenericMediaMetadata();
  metadata.title = exerciseData.exerciseWrap.exercise.name;
  metadata.images = exerciseData.exerciseWrap.exercise.thumbnail;
  loadRequestData.media.contentUrl = exerciseData.exerciseWrap.exercise.media[0].url;
  loadRequestData.media.contentType = 'video/mp4';
  loadRequestData.media.metadata = metadata;
  return loadRequestData;
}

And this is how I play the media

const context = cast.framework.CastReceiverContext.getInstance();
const playerManager = context.getPlayerManager();
...
function playVideo(mediaRequest) {
  playerManager.load(mediaRequest)
    .then(function () {
      playerManager.play();
    });
}

How can I make the same video play continuously once it ends ?

Hello

original case: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/162640292

Has taken a very long time to get to this point. I have a test case where queue loading fails with this error. I have no idea why as it was working in the past. This api is poorly documented.

It hangs and refuses to play

"cast_receiver_framework.js:114 [ 3.144s] [cast.receiver.MediaQueue] The passed in queueData is not completely valid: [object Object] "

        mediaInfo.metadata = new chrome.cast.media.GenericMediaMetadata();
        mediaInfo.metadata.metadataType = chrome.cast.media.MetadataType.GENERIC;
        mediaInfo.metadata.title = mediaContents[index]['title'];
        mediaInfo.metadata.images = [
            {'url': MEDIA_SOURCE_ROOT + mediaContents[index]['thumb']}];

        return mediaInfo;
    }

       

 /*   var request = new chrome.cast.media.LoadRequest(mediaInfo);

            this.playerState = PLAYER_STATE.ERROR;
            console.log('Remote media load error: ' +
                CastPlayer.getErrorMessage(errorCode));

    const queueItems = [
        new chrome.cast.media.QueueItem(addItem(0)),
        new chrome.cast.media.QueueItem(addItem(1))
    ];

    console.log("items", queueItems);

    const request = new chrome.cast.media.QueueLoadRequest(queueItems);

    request.startIndex = 0;
    request.currentTime = 0;


    castSession.getSessionObj().queueLoad(request,  () => {
       // console.log(this.session.getMediaSession());
        console.log("queue loaded");
    }, (e) => {
        console.log("queue load error");
    });

I'm being hassled about queue loading completely broken. Can't figure out what has changed. Any ideas ?

everything I try fails. It seems to try to load the clip but getting a decode error ?

I have an Android sender app that is working fine with a Web Receiver, using the chromecast device connected to the TV.
But I also have a TV with a built in chromecast that is not being recognized by the sender app. Apparently only YouTube and Netflix are able to discover the built in chromecast.
Do I need an Android TV application to be able to discover the TV built in chromecast?

Receiver code doesn't work, there is an issue with debugger and 'is_device_registered' of null error.
Disabling debugger fails with websocket error:
WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8008/v2/ipc' failed:

I'm trying to use Cactool however pressing the "Set app ID" button only refreshes the page and nothing is changed.

https://casttool.appspot.com/cactool/?appId=CC1AD845

The cast button does not appear at all.

Hi, I have set up the CastReceiver and published it to surge. It is showing correctly when using the web sender project, apart from this issue - the playback-logo-image is not showing up on the while playing on the device. I've tried using the same image as a watermark in the css file and it shows correctly then. Any ideas?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out why doesnt work when I send to my Chromecast a m3u link.

I tried also using postman to see if i can get any information and this is the respond:

Hope you can help me.

Hi,
Looking at the receiver design checklist:
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/design_checklist/receiver

Does this sample repo implement them?
I couldn't find it in the code, looking at:
https://github.com/googlecast/CastReceiver/blob/master/js/receiver.js
https://github.com/googlecast/CastReceiver/blob/master/receiver.html

Thanks!

I have a Chromecast 3rd generation (USB dongle) and I would like to know how it is possible to know if a user has pressed a button on the remote. Please note that the use of <button> does not work.

After spending 5 hours reading the documentation, I still haven't found any information to do this.
What's the point of allowing to get rid of <cast-media-player> if it's not possible to retrieve the remote control's interactions?

We have developed a Custom Cast Receiver (registered on Cast Console)

The cast receiver smoothly plays a video whose URL does not have any redirection.
However, if the video URL contains a redirection, the cast receiver fails with a 311 error.

I'm posting the curl responses for both types of videos URL

Type 1: Video URL without any redirection (this video plays on the receiver)

Type 2: Video URL with redirection (this video does not play on the receiver)

Also posting the error-response from cast receiver

Looks like, the custom receiver is unable to handle URL redirection. Any way to enable redirection?

Hi, I am looking for sample code of custom receiver of v2 SDK, this doesn't seem to be working. Since we are on v2 SDK we need a reference for the example to check few things. Can you please help me in finding this?

Hello,

I am getting this error when i am trying to add Ad Breaks a VMAP Ad URL.
I tested with the doubleclick ad server.
When the VAST INLINE reponse from the ad server provides a MediaFile withe the mime-type "application/x-mpegURL", the Cast SDK throws and error 104.
Find below some logs :

app.js:1433 MediaCast.onPlayerLoadComplete

It seems to be case sensitive issue. When i try with an other static URL where i can change the type to "application/x-mpegurl", it works.
In SDK Cast, i do not find an api to set the list of accepted mime-types.

Have someone already experienced this error ?

Hi, i am developing an app to show a html5 site in Angular and send commands whit another site. but in Chromecast Ultra the site is showing size 1280 x 720, now I change to Chromecast 4 whit google TV and the size is 960 x 540, is there a way to configure this size in receiver?

thanks

It isn't uncommon for people to have media servers where there is a published Cast receiver app which plays an audio stream from a local network URL, e.g. http://10.0.0.6:1234/stream.mp3. (I am the developer of one such device.)

Until a few days ago this worked. Now (since a recent Cast firmware update) it does not. Looking in the Chrome debug console, the issue is that, even though loadRequestData.media.contentUrl is correct (e.g. 'http://10.0.0.6:1234/stream.mp3'), the actual request coming from the Cast device is the same but HTTPS (e.g. 'https://10.0.0.6:1234/stream.mp3'). So the media server's HTTP server sees an incoming connection and instead of seeing GET /stream.mp3 HTTP/1.1 in plaintext it sees a binary SSL handshake and goes crazy.

There doesn't appear to be any sensible way around this. 'Fixing' the media server to run an HTTPS server instead of HTTP, the Cast request still fails because now there's a self-signed cert.

Is this a deliberate 'break' or an accident, and in either case how do I proceed? Thank you!

Edit: this still works fine when casting to the default media receiver. It only breaks for custom receivers. Is there some new setting (not documented?) I need to set in the custom receiver to allow this?

Please update your cactool guide here.

Is it possible to apply for the "Chromecast built in" program? https://www.google.com/chromecast/built-in/audio/

We would like to add the ability to cast to our speakers.

Hi, I'm working on custom web-receiver and can't get it to work properly. Current flow:

1. I receive m3u8 which looks like this (short version) :

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:9
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=AES-128,URI="https://custom_link_to_get_key/",IV="someCode"
#EXTINF:9.010222,
hls_0.ts
#EXTINF:9.010222,
hls_1.ts

2. Receiver app takes URI="https://custom_link_to_get_key/ and fails with 314 error code. Detailed error from backend tells me that i'm not sending required headers. I have almost 0 knowledge in javascript so please check the short version of my receiver app (i suspect that i might be setting headers in the wrong way, i'm also 100 percent sure that when .LOAD request is intercepted all of the headers are available (A,B,C etc)) :

const context = cast.framework.CastReceiverContext.getInstance();
const playerManager = context.getPlayerManager();
const playbackConfig = new cast.framework.PlaybackConfig();

playerManager.setMessageInterceptor(
    cast.framework.messages.MessageType.LOAD,
    request => {
        const requestData = JSON.stringify(request);
        const requestObj = JSON.parse(requestData);
        const headers = {};
        headers['A'] = requestObj.media.customData.A;
        headers['B'] = requestObj.media.customData.B;
        headers['C'] = requestObj.media.customData.C;
        headers['D'] = requestObj.media.customData.D;
        headers['E'] = requestObj.media.customData.E;
        headers['F'] = requestObj.media.customData.F;

        request.media.contentType = HLS_STREAM_TYPE;
        request.media.hlsSegmentFormat = cast.framework.messages.HlsSegmentFormat.TS;

        const playbackConfig = (Object.assign(new cast.framework.PlaybackConfig(), playerManager.getPlaybackConfig()));
        playbackConfig.autoResumeNumberOfSegments = 1;

        playbackConfig.manifestRequestHandler = requestInfo => {
            requestInfo.headers = {headers};
            requestInfo.withCredentials = true;
        };

        playbackConfig.segmentRequestHandler = requestInfo => {
            requestInfo.headers = {headers};
            requestInfo.withCredentials = true;
        };

        playbackConfig.licenseRequestHandler= requestInfo => {
            requestInfo.headers = {headers};
            requestInfo.withCredentials = true;
        };

        playerManager.setPlaybackConfig(playbackConfig);
        return request;
    });

context.start({playbackConfig: playbackConfig});

3. As i understand playbackConfig.licenseRequestHandler is used when receiver app tries to get the "decryption key" and it looks like headers are in place, that's why i'm not sure what is wrong.

4. Cast error code is 314, and short version of the error request status is {"errorCode:6, status:0, response headers: "", response:null}

If someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong here, it will be greatly appreciated. (or at least share code sample for WebReceiver app with AES 128 encryption)

How to get LaunchOptions data on receiver app ?

Gen1, Gen2, Chromecast, ChromecastUltra, Build-in chromecast all crash when registering a service worker (While it works on a normal webpage)

When you run this code, the chromecast will just crash "Something went wrong"

navigator.serviceWorker.register('sw.js', {scope: './'}).then(function() {
  console.log('Success!')
}, function(err) {
  console.log(err)
})

https://github.com/google/shaka-player/issues/2205

This code worked fine on old firmware, but suddenly all cast devices crash on calling a service worker ( no matter the content of the worker)

Any ideas why this is?

Are there typescript namespace definitions for this sdk?

Then I decided to try this manifest directly on Shaka player. I found out that the good events to listen to for this syntax of ad event where timelineregionenter and timelineregionexit. These events are triggered by Shaka when encountering EventStream with sub Event while emsg events are triggered when encountering InbandEventStream. I have the impression that CAF EMSG_EVENT will only be triggered by InbandEventStream.

So, my question : is there anyway to catch timelineregionenter or timelineregionexit events on CAF Receiver ?

Thank you :)

I am currently integrating ads into a cast receiver app via Google Ad Managers VMAP support.
Unfortunately, I noticed that it basically does not work for us for 99% of the time.

After digging around and enabling the debug mode I noticed the following:

[cast.framework.breaks.vast.VastManager] Fail to load VAST ads. Error: Number of redirects exceeded the set limit. 

I enabled the logger for this:

cast.debug.CastDebugLogger.getInstance().loggerLevelByTags = {
        "cast.framework.breaks.vast.VastManager": cast.framework.LoggerLevel.DEBUG,
    };

I then tried to find a way to configure this limit some where but noticed that the number is a constant in the code. (Screenshot via Chrome Dev Tools).

This is currently blocking the usage of the ad provider smartclip, a very large ad provider in Germany.
I would like to have a way to increase that number.

I can provide an ad call if necessary, privately would be appreciated.

I also created an issue here, because I was unsure where it belongs.

Currently, we implement chromecast on Android TV receiver. We have an issue bellow need you confirm: When use android 11 device cast to android TV receiver after that we disconnect cast on android 11 device then android TV receiver force to home (it is different with android under 11 devices. On android under 11 when disconnect on it then app on android TV receiver still playing). So we need confirm behavior when disconnect Cast on android device is force app to home or app still playing. Please help us confirm on it.

Thanks and regards,

    }
    if (customData.referer) {
        header_now['Referer'] = customData.referer
    }
    console.log("header " + header_now);

    playbackConfig.licenseRequestHandler = requestInfo => {
        if (header_now)

but it's giving me 3116403 error , how to fix this

Getting started with ngrok has four steps:

1. start your service
2. create an ngrok account
3. Install the authtoken to connect the local agent to your account
4. Then start the tunnel as described

Currently, the guide leaves out steps 2 & 3.

Now only videos with the “avc1.4D401F” codec work for me. Videos with codecs “avc1.64001E”, “avc1.640020”, “avc1.4D4029” do not work. Due to the fact that google cast supports the "avc1.4D401F" codec, I want to replace the non-working codecs in the manifest with "avc1.4D401F".

From the google cast documentation:

manifestHandler

Handler to process manifest data. The handler is passed the manifest, and returns the modified manifest.

Therefore, in manifestHandler I replace the line with codecs.

playbackConfig.manifestHandler = data => {
 updateManifest = function(manifest) {
  return manifest.replace(/avc1.(\w*)/gi, 'avc1.4D401F');
 };
 const newManifest = updateManifest(data);
  return new Promise((resolve, _reject) => {
   resolve(newManifest);
  });
};

I made sure that the function works and really changes the values in the manifest. Tested replacing different parts of the manifest.
However, when I try to change the codec, it does not help. Maybe something else needs to be changed along with the codec?

Hi,

1. I have created a custom receiver and i would like to switch to a secondary stream if any error occurs while streaming the primary stream url. Can we do this on receiver side?

If possible can you please share any example code to do the same.

2. Also if i need to restart the playback from receiver is it possible ? If possible, can you please share any example code to do the same?
Thanks!
