BitmovinCastManager

open class BitmovinCastManager

Singleton providing access to GoogleCast related features. The BitmovinCastManager needs to be initialized in the Application, if casting should be used.

Note: Make sure to call updateContext on every Activitys switch. On devices where casting is unavailable, Cast operations are no-ops and return false when applicable.
