Hello Google Cast developers!

Updates to the Google Cast Receiver SDK have been released.  The full rollout will take a few weeks as we monitor performance and slowly ramp up the new version.  We anticipate completing the rollout on December 1, 2025, but this is not guaranteed.

Major changes:
  • The default Shaka Player version used by CAF is updated from 4.9.2 to 4.15.12. See the Shaka Player changelog for a complete list of changes.
  • Default useShakaForHls to true, making Shaka the default for all playbacks. Apps can still opt out. See HLS on Shaka Player Migration
  • Added metadata API getDeviceInformation() to CastReceiverContext

For a complete list of changes, see the release notes: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/release-notes

Best regards,
Google Cast SDK Team
