Cast button doesn't appear on mobile

[lucafaggianelli]

On Chrome Android, chromecast SDK simply doesn't work, it's not loaded at all, I have this issue also on a sender app I made, it looks like window['__onGCastApiAvailable'] is not called at all.

Actually, if you play a video in Chrome Android, a cast icon appears in the top left corner of the <video> element but it seems a Chrome native thing, not the cast button implemented in this repo.

If anyone stumbles upon this problem, make sure you are hosting your website with https, otherwise __onGCastApiAvailable will not trigger.

Chrome Android is supported.

Is your receiver app published? +1 to Dalesjo's suggestion that your website needs to be hosted with https as well.

Also are there any devices on the network?
