ios - Google Cast Media Player Library - for streaming from Local Device -


despite reading documentation not not clear me " google cast media player library" , whether route need take chromecast app.

what trying achieve play media local ios device on chromecast. main aim to play users videos , photos , not drm media.

up till have been doing exporting avasset , passing file address simple http server. seems horribly inefficient , thought use avassetreader pass stream chromecast. during research came across terms

  • mpeg-dash -
  • smoothstreaming
  • http live streaming (hls)

    but not understand whether need such complex implementations

i find name - google cast media player library, ambiguous , there no concise explanation of is.

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/player

this piece of definition given there:

... provides javascript support parsing manifests , playing http live streaming (hls), mpeg-dash, , smooth streaming content. provide support hls aes encryption, playready drm, , widevine drm.

i hope not ambiguous; if media has encryption and/or dealing adaptive streams of types specified (hls, ..), library can you. if playing simple mp4 or showing images, don't need use library.

there plenty of posts in forum on how cast local media; amounts embedding local tiny embedded web server in sender app , sending url of media (that exposed through embedded web server via url) chromecast , have receiver show or play media tiem (via url exposed).
