Brightcove Player Chromecast Receiver and Plugin v3.4.0

The Brightcove Player Chromecast Receiver v3.4.0 is available.

Features

• Improved support for casting live content with a DVR window.
  • When casting live content with a DVR window the web-player sender will display a progress bar that can be used to control the playhead position on the receiver (similar to the VOD user experience).
  • By default, the information used to update the sender progress bar is updated twice a second, via a message from the receiver. The frequency of these updates can be controlled with the plugin configuration option liveUpdateThrottle, e.g.:

  {
    "name": "chromecastReceiver",
    "options": {
      "liveUpdateThrottle": 1000
    }
  }
  

  The number value is the minimum time to wait between messages, in milliseconds. The above value will send an update about once a second. A smaller value will produce faster updates but may impact performance on the receiver device.
