Hi,

My name is Timoor Kurdi and I’m a Support Engineer at JW Player.

Do you have a link to the page so I can take a look at your setup? Is the icon appearing? The cast icon will only appear if Chrome detects the Chromecast on the local network.

This article from Google on chromecasting should also prove beneficial – https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/7249696?hl=en

If you are doing something more custom to build a chrome cast receiver, please take a look at our github link – https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer-cast-receiver

I also wrote up some JS to emulate a basic casting setup, please take a look at the code below:

var playerInstance = jwplayer(“myElement”);
playerInstance.setup({
file: ‘https://s3.amazonaws.com/bob.jwplayer.com/~test/assets/MediumVideo.mp4’,
width: “100%”,
aspectratio: “16:9”,
cast: {}
}).on(“cast”, function(e) {
if (e.available && !e.active) {
console.log(“Casting is available, but not active.”, e);
} else if (e.active) {
console.log(“Casting session is active.”, e);
}

Regards,
