Anyone has any experience with Chromecast and HLS from Wowza? I did to setup the sample node.js stream server from [https://github.com/googlecast/cast-support-media-server](https://github.com/googlecast/cast-support-media-server) and use the sample hls media they provides. The chomecast did play the video well with this ios sender=\> [https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloVideo-ios](https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloVideo-ios) and this receiver=\> [https://github.com/googlecast/cast-custom-receiver](https://github.com/googlecast/cast-custom-receiver). However, after change the media server to our Wowza system with out production hls, the chromecast failed to play video stream, although ffplay and our other ios/android client can play the hls well. Here is error message I got from the Chromecast debug console: [http://pastebin.com/7aXbC6Hn](http://pastebin.com/7aXbC6Hn) Any suggestion? ---

Looking at the debug output, it’s not clear what the problem is. The result is obvious: > Uncaught NotSupportedError: The implementation did not support the requested type of object or operation > > MEDIA ELEMENT STALLED sample\_media\_receiver.html?Debug=true:143 What are the audio and video encoding details? Does this stream playback in VLC or iOS device?

> Do you have your Wowza configured as per the instructions [found here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-from-an-android-device-to-the-google-chromecast-device)? If the problem persists, please zip up your conf/ and logs/ and send them to support@wowza.com. Matt, Yes, I added CORS to both live and vod Application.xml. I want to try one more thing now: MPEG-DASH instead of HLS. I will let you know what happens. Keep in mind: the problem is not Wowza as such, it’s streaming perfectly to all the reasonable devices on the planet, including Cupertino. It’s only Chromecast which is unable to play it. Best regards, Kris. ---

Craig, It sounds like you have a working Chromecast implementation. How do you have this configured? As to the Chromecast dieing after 1-2 hours, do you see any error or warning messages in the logs? -Tim ---

Any luck? I have a fully working ChromeCast and would like to share results. My one problem is after 1-2 hours of playback my Chromecast dies, output shows the HLS stream is no longer valid…But when I look at my wowza stream both RTMP and HLS are all live and working. > Yes, the stream playback well in iOS, Android 4.0+, VLC and ffplay. > > Chromcast is the only one that has difficulty to play the same stream. ---

Is it need to upgrade?
