I'm working on a project with custom video player, based on AVPlayer. Trying to integrate google cast. I've made integration based on google tuts: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/cast-videos-ios/ But with conversion to swift. Everything seems to work fine, when cast, if video player opens, and there is connected device (or if I connect from panel), I form meta info for file, and it's passed to google cast - everything works fine.
But, i have strange behavior: 1) Start casting, open video, then another video, then third video. 2) Stop casting 3) Go to another video, enable casting, but it doesn't start this video. It start casting the first video I opened earlier....
I tried to find any method that clears cache or queue, but there is no.. Please, help
