Answer 2

Here is your question's answer

1. Is google cast SDK support to cast video on Fire TV Stick or Ruko TV?

• Yes you can cast video with a firestick. You have to download the AirScreen app in your firestick device. AirScreen allows you to cast video like youtube. I am testing with the firestick device in my app too and it works fine. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionitech.airscreen&hl=en_IN&gl=US)

2. You have to call loadMedia api to cast video in firestick

here is an example which I used to cast video in firestick and other Chromecast devices.

 global.currentSession.client.loadMedia({
            autoplay: true,
            mediaInfo: {
              contentUrl:
                'https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4',
              contentType: 'application/mp4', //content type is type of your video
              contentId:
                'https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4', //ContentId is compulsory othervise video will not show
              id: '5',
              metadata: {
                // type: 'movie',
                title: 'Test Title ',
                images: [
                  {
                    url: 'https://t4.ftcdn.net/jpg/01/43/23/83/360_F_143238306_lh0ap42wgot36y44WybfQpvsJB5A1CHc.jpg',
                  },
                ],
              },
              customData: {
                type: 'application/mp4',
              },
            },
            repeatMode: 'all',
          });
