Google Cast SDK release - May 20, 2026

[cast-sdk-announcements]

Hello Google Cast developers!

We released two critical bug fixes for the Google Cast Receiver SDK today, patching issues some have been experiencing since the release was completed two days ago.  The previous release was 3.0.0150, and the fixes are in 3.0.0151.

Changes:

• Fix player stuck in buffering state post-ad-break.
• Map the "audio/x-mpegurl" MIME type as HLS for Shaka Player, fixing error code 4000 for apps using this MIME type.
