Chromecast not working

Wowza Video (Formerly Streaming Cloud)

Your HLS content is not casting to Chromecast via JW Player, is this a CORS config that you need to setup?

I am able to view in my JW Player embed the stream on desktop and ipad but it will not cast to chromecast.

I am well versed in the config of Chromecast with JW Player and HLS, I have been able to cast HLS VOD content

So I believe the problem is that you either need to allow extra CORS or the other possibility is that the stream URL is http and not https and my webpage is https. The URL provided to the M3U8 is http and does not seem to work over https

For example my m3u8 URL is http://062708.entrypoint.cloud.wowza.com/app-d66c/ngrp:3d473a61_all/playlist.m3u8

If I try source with https at https://062708.entrypoint.cloud.wowza.com/app-d66c/ngrp:3d473a61_all/playlist.m3u8 then it does not work.

I believe you need to add this to every single application by default, can you please do this

Hi,

It looks like you have a Cloud trial account, and the Cloud trial does not currently support SSL.

Oh ok, so if I get paid version then the URL’s I get that are for M3U8 embeds will allow https?

And do you know if it will work on chromecast or is this untested
