Cast module

This module provides a Player implementation that controls a Cast receiver app.

Getting the module

The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-cast:1.X.X'

where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media modules being used.

Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.

Using the module

Create a CastPlayer and use it to control a Cast receiver app. Since CastPlayer implements the Player interface, it can be passed to all media components that accept a Player, including the UI components provided by the UI module.
