Chromecast (Google Cast)

The Cast SDK allows a user to select streaming audio-visual content using a sender (Lura Player), and play it on (or cast it to) another device known as the receiver, while controlling playback using the sender.

caution

Chromecast is not supported on Android TV, Fire TV and devices without Google Play Services.

To enable Google Cast SDK on your player, you need to do the following configuration:

Attribute	Type	Optional	Description
enabled	Boolean	yes	Whether casting is enabled in available devices. (Defaults to false)
appId	String	no	Chromecast receiver application ID
