Google Cast BreakClip mime-type "application/x-mpegURL" error

[ABDELKADER DIB]

Hello,

I am getting this error on my Cast Receiver App when i am trying to add Ad Breaks with a VMAP Ad URL. I tested with the doubleclick ad server. When the VAST INLINE reponse from the ad server provides a MediaFile with the mime-type "application/x-mpegURL", the Cast SDK throws and error 104. Find below some logs :

app.js:1433 MediaCast.onPlayerLoadComplete app.js:1433 sendStreamInformation: {"version":1,"action":"stream_information","duration":2108} cast_receiver_framework.js:116 [ 6.103s] [cast.framework.media.util] cannot guess mime type from given contenId/Type. Assume that this is video/mp4 th @ cast_receiver_framework.js:116 2app.js:1433 Media Manager MEDIA STATUS app.js:1433 MediaCast.onLoadStart app.js:1433 MediaCast.setState LOAD app.js:454 ---> STATE :: LOAD app.js:1433 MediaCast.isMediaState app.js:1433 MediaCast.clearTimerState cast_receiver_framework.js:116 [ 6.219s] [StitchingPlayer] player event: break clip error cast_receiver_framework.js:116 [ 6.224s] [cast.receiver.MediaManager] Sending error message to : app.js:1433 Media Manager ERROR: {"type":"ERROR","detailedErrorCode":104} app.js:1433 MediaCast.onError

It seems to be case sensitive issue. When i try with an other static URL where i can change the type to "application/x-mpegurl", it works. In SDK Cast, i do not find an api to set the list of accepted mime-types.

Have someone already experienced this error ?

Hi Teejay Wennie,

You can observe this issu with this Google Cast Sample : https://github.com/googlecast/CastReceiver

addBreaks with a VMAP URL :

function addBreakToMedia(mediaInformation) {
  mediaInformation.vmapAdsRequest = {
    adTagUrl: 'https://castsample.com/vmap?rand=' + Math.floor(Math.random()* 10000)
  };
}

On the VMAP URL side, in the last VAST Inline reponse, you have to set only mediaFiles with the type "application/x-mpegURL".

Hi Kaderdib,

Thank you for getting back to us. I'll be flagging this to a wider team for further investigation. I'll update this thread the soonest the team share their feedback.

Hi Kaderdib,

It looks like you are using the Cast Application Framework's Ad Breaks feature in your Cast receiver. Unfortunately, while that functionality performs a similar task to the IMA SDK, it is a different code base, which is managed by the Cast team.

To file an issue with the Cast team, you can use the support link in the Cast Developer Console.

Thanks,

Hi Greg,

Thank you for this feedback. 

Yes, we use the adBreaks feature of the cast receiver.

We will ask the cast team.

Best regards,
