Remote Media Player HTTP response handling

I'm using the Receiver API When building a chromecast receiver. Since playing of the media requires certain authentication token that is only valid for a short period of time (say 5 minutes). If the users decide to play content that lasts longer than 5 minutes, the source will likely respond with an HTTP error code once the time frame has passed. In this case, I would like there to be a way to retrieve the error code so I can re-authenticate on the device end. So I was wondering if there's any receiver API(error handling callbacks) that supports this model?

Thanks for the help!

Solution

  • If you are using the Media Player Library (MPL), then you can use the RequestStatus class to see the error code, status, response headers, and response body for the failed license request.
