Dolby OptiView Player demo

Chromecast

Discover Chromecast session takeover capabilities that eliminate device re-selection, providing uninterrupted and streamlined casting for enhanced viewer convenience.

Three types of behaviour are defined: ‘auto’, ‘manual’ and ‘disabled’. You can also start a cast session without an actual THEOplayer instance by simply using the global API.

Auto behavior

When a cast session already exists, the player will automatically start casting when the play button is clicked. It is possible to start a session by clicking the cast button or using the global API.

Manual behavior

When a cast session exists the player will NOT automatically start casting. However, when the cast button is clicked and a session exists, the existing session is used and the user is not prompted with a dialog.

Disabled behavior

The player is unaffected by chromecast. Small note: currently chromecasting is only supported by Google Chrome.
