Options for the Google Cast extension that configures the receiver and load request

Adds the Google Cast extension to the player’s media. It renders nothing — place it inside the player as a sibling of the media element, and pair it with a CastButton. See Cast to AirPlay and Chromecast for the complete setup.

Import

pnpm add @videojs/html @videojs/google-cast
import '@videojs/html/extensions/google-cast';

Or load it from the CDN:

<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@videojs/cdn@10.0.0-beta.32/extensions/google-cast.js"></script>

Options

Attribute Property Description
receiver receiver Cast receiver application ID. Defaults to Google’s Default Media Receiver (CC1AD845)
src src Source URL loaded on the receiver. Defaults to the source the browser is playing
content-type contentType MIME type of the Cast source. When unset, the receiver infers it from the URL
stream-type streamType Stream type reported to the receiver. Falls back to the player’s stream type
customData Custom data sent to the receiver with each load request

customData takes an object, so it’s a property only, with no matching attribute.

When the Cast src is an HLS playlist, Video.js detects the segment format and sets the receiver’s hlsSegmentFormat and hlsVideoSegmentFormat load-request fields. The Default Media Receiver plays HLS natively, so no extra receiver setup is needed.
