Hello Google Cast developers!

We’re providing a preview of the next Cast Web Receiver SDK to allow developers to test their apps ahead of the production release.

Changes include:

Upgraded the default Shaka player version to 3.2.11 (which in turn fixes a number of previously-reported issues).
Playback will now automatically start after stream transfer.
Deprecated `cast.framework.messages.MusicTrackMediaMetadata# songName `. Use `cast.framework.messages.MusicTrackMediaMetadata# title ` instead.
Added support for dynamic breaks to the embedded timeline.
Removed ` cast.framework.PlayerManager# playString() ` .
Added a new style, `cast.framework.ui.ControlsButton. LYRICS `, for the Like user action.
Added access to the HTTP response headers for ` manifestHandler `, ` segmentHandler `, ` licenseHandler ` of the `PlaybackConfig`.
Added ` customData ` to `CommandAndControlManager# ErrorResponseData ` when the LOAD_BY_ENTITY message is resolved with an error.
Fixed audio/video desynchronization issues for HLS live streams.
Added `cast.framework.PlaybackConfig# enableUITextDisplayer ` to render captions in Shaka Player using the DOM.

Added `cast.framework.CastReceiverOptions# shakaVersion ` and `cast.framework.CastReceiverOptions# useShakaForHls ` to allow receivers to use Shaka Player for HLS playback.

Developers can test the new Web Receiver SDK before release using the preview URL at https://www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/caf_receiver/preview/cast_receiver_framework.js . This preview period will last 3-5 weeks. For those using Shaka player, we suggest you test streaming content for an extended period of time.

Best regards,

Google Cast SDK Team
