I've made an application to cast HLS streams on a Chromecast.
It works well with VOD streams (non live), but it's not with a LIVE stream.
So here is my question : Can Chromecast read LIVE streams ?
Yes, it can and many chromecast application already do. You may want to use our MPL library, or use your own player. You may need to write a custom receiver if the Styled/Default receiver is not doing what you need.
