I’m using a third party HLS audio stream which I see is using Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0.

I’m having trouble when casting the stream to Google Cast devices. The details can be found at [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42901869/cast-devices-freeze-when-casting-audio-streams](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42901869/cast-devices-freeze-when-casting-audio-streams) .

I have been trying to go through the docs on this site and I see that Chromecast indeed should be working, and from what I can see all headers are good.

However, **I was wondering if anyone knows about any issues with Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 and casting**? I wonder if an upgrade would automagically fix the issues. If not, maybe you have some insights that could help me figure out what is going wrong in the question at Stack Overflow.
