Setting up google cast.
I use my own player in the receiver. Interaction between the sender and the receiver occurs using custom messages. Everything works, but there is a problem with the state. It is always IDLE.
By default, if the state is IDLE for 5 - 10 minutes, the sender will close the connection with the receiver due to the timeout setting.
I cancel the timeout using options.disableIdleTimeout = true. This solves the problem of connection loss.
Now when I switch videos I get an error.
[cast.receiver.MediaManager] Unexpected command, player is in IDLE state so the media session ID is not valid yet
I need to change the state from IDLE to PLAYING.
When starting a video I use playerManager.play(). It does not help.
How can the receiver send its updated MEDIA_STATUS to the sender?
