Notes
The player needs to report all the possible OTT types (casting, screen mirroring, etc.) to the Browser SDK.
Communicating with the Chromecast Receiver App
Browser SDK cannot communicate directly with the Receiver App running on the Chromecast as it needs access to the Google Casting framework. Alternatively, Browser SDK requires the application to pass the data to the Receiver App.
