I managed to configure a Chromecast custom receiver app for Kaltura. It works well on Mac and PC but refuses to call the manifest on Android.

I have gone through the debugger and no apparent errors are reported. The receiver app is called but nothing else happens.

Any help will be appreciated,

Thank you,

David Eusse

  • After putting the Chromecast device into debug mode, I get this error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'CastReceiverContext' of undefined at This is on https://www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/receiver/2.0.0/cast_receiver.js – David Eusse Feb 25 '20 at 15:45

  • hi @DavidEusse 2.82 should include a fix to android cast issue. I do not yet know the release data but if you are deploying your own you can pull the 2.82 branch and test it – Oren.Me Mar 05 '20 at 11:47
