Where is my "receiver app URL in Developer Console"

I am following the directions here:

https://github.com/googlecast/CastMediaPlayerStreamingDRM

In order to understand how I can stream DRM videos with m3u8 to Google ChromeCast (from iOS).

Under 'Steps to setup'. The 3rd step says

  1. Point your receiver app URL in Developer Console to localhost/~username/CastMediaPlayerStreamingDRM/mpl.html

I don't know what my 'receiver app url' is. Is that referring to ? http://url.of.chromecast.72:9222

Is this the URL you setup when you are at https://cast.google.com/publish/#/overview and you select "Add new application" of type "Custom Receiver". Then under Receiver details you are allowed to put in a 'URL'?

And for 'developer console' - I assume it's referring to? https://cast.google.com/publish/#/overview

Solution

  • Developer console is where you had pointed to. The receiver URL is the one you had guessed; when you create a custom receiver, you need to specify where the receiver code is to load it from and you need to point it to wherever you are serving your receiver page at.; it has nothing to do with the chromecast ip/url.
