Chromecast CORS problem

Community Forums Kaltura Players and Player Plugins

Hello,

We have configured a Chromecast styled receiver for Kaltura. When I try to play a live stream, I get the following error:

Unsafe attempt to load URL https://dev.yyyyy.com/p/102/sp/10200/playManifest/entryId/0_f4wphewh/format/applehttp/protocol/https/uiConfId/23448172/a.m3u8?referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kZXYuY2xvdWR2aWRlby5jb20uY28=&playSessionId=eca13709-002a-256e-b1b2-dd83510aa455 from frame with URL https://www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/default_receiver/1.0/app.html?skin. Domains, protocols and ports must match

Chromecast is not able to load the Manifest but it works when playing VOD.

Does anyone have any experience fixing these CORS Chrome errors ? Any help will be appreciated.

We are using the latest player (v2.80) and nginx live stream instead of wowza

Thank you,

David

Hello Jess,

After going through the documentation, I noticed that I was making a big mistake and using the wrong Chromecast receiver.

I registered a custom receiver pointing to my players plugin (https://dev.yyy.com//html5/html5lib/v2.80/modules/Chromecast/resources/receiver/receiver.html) and now the player loads consistently for Live and VOD.

The problem now is that I have a different delivery profile domain name (cdn.yyy.com) from the api/kaltura domain name (dev.yyy.com) and I’m getting the nasty CORS error that blocks the manifests.

Unsafe attempt to load URL https://cdn.yyy.com/live01/live.m3u8 from frame with URL https://dev.yyy.com/html5/html5lib/v2.80/modules/Chromecast/resources/receiver/receiver.html. Domains, protocols and ports must match.

We have checked and all CORS headers are present.

Since it looks quite normal to have a different delivery domain from kaltura’s api/main domain, is there a simple fix that problem on the player’s module ?

Thank you again for your help,

David
