Features

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": "chromecastSender",
  "is_packaged": true,
  "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.
