<div dir="ltr">I will have to play with it. From the app standpoint, I just need to point the connected Chromecast to the URL of the DASH stream. The player is just an HTML5 <video> tag that loads and plays the stream (along with a few javascript functions to handle controls). I think it would be more of checking that the transcoding results are playable, not necessarily the player working on the Chromecast. However, since the Cast Receiver is just html and javascript, I don't see why it too couldn't also be used.<div><br></div><div>I did just run into an issue last week where the regular HLS transcode, initiated by the app through the Services API produced a stream that crashed the Chromecast while playing. I am not sure if it is an issue with the stream or connectivity. However, when connectivity comes becomes an issue, it tends to just spin until it fixes itself. This is only for recordings, videos already transcoded to the right format don't cause this. I should say I mostly cast recordings (and sometimes videos) when I am travelling in my hotel room. It usually works well until a random one crashes the Chromecast and it has to reboot itself.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Feb 11, 2017 at 3:32 PM Garret McGraw <<a href="mailto:gmcgraw0@gmail.com">gmcgraw0@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">Yeah, this might work. The only thing to keep in mind is that I had to change the DASH manifest from a "live" profile manifest to an "ondemand" profile manifest but still maintain the "dynamic" manifest type so that it will playable during the transcoding process (see line 300 in index.php for my sed replace). This is something that shaka-player explicitly supports (they call it "in-progress recording") but I'm not sure if other DASH players will be quite as happy with it. You may be able to make the chromecast app use shaka-player, which would solve this potential issue (if it doesn't already). I do think shaka-player supports playing on Chromecast if you configure it correctly.<div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">Let me know if I can help.</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg"></div></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg">Garret</div></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_msg">On Sat, Feb 11, 2017 at 2:50 PM, Daniel Frey <span dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg"><<a href="mailto:dmfrey@gmail.com" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">dmfrey@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br class="gmail_msg"><blockquote class="gmail_quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg">I could use the output in MythTV Player on Android and Chromecast as well.
