Is avc1.66.31,mp4a.40.2 supported by the Chromecast device?

Question

I have an m3u8 file that looks like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2048805,CODECS=\"avc1.66.31,mp4a.40.2\",RESOLUTION=1280x720
ch         


        

Answer 1

Some builds of Chromecast reject "avc1.66.31" so it is recommendation to use "avc1.66.30" instead either by updating the playlist or using host.processManifest workaround

host.processManifest = function(manifest) {
  return manifest.replace(/CODECS=\"avc1.66.([0-9]*)/g, 'CODECS=\"avc1.66.30');
};

in a custom receiver.
