M3u8 video fails on Chromecast Ultra when using Shaka but works when not using Shaka

[casolorz]

I have a video:

https://castvideotests.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/shaka/anime/video.m3u8

This video works fine without Shaka on Chromecast Ultra but it does not work with Shaka.

It works fine with and without Shaka on CCwGTV using Google Cast.

I have made two sample receivers, 36F55B37 with Shaka and 11038870 without Shaka.

I have also made a sample Android app which is attached.

The Shaka error I see is:

Thanks!

[joeyparrish]

Looking into it now.

@joeyparrish any update?

[avelad]

There seems to be a bug in Chromecast Ultra where it will refuse AVC High Profile even if the TV does support it. Replacing avc1.640033 with avc1.4D4028 managed to convince Chromecast to send AVC High Profile to the TV anyway

Oh, that's really interesting. When I'm back next week, I would like to try translating that in the Chromecast polyfills. I believe I know how to detect those models.

I have found the same error on Chromecast 1gen

Maybe you can use https://gist.github.com/bittu/282df7c97f078e707998b80cfee03fe8 to detect the Chromecast model
