I am trying to get the sender application language from Chromecast receiver in the first connection (before loading any stream) to show a welcome message.
I have this in my sender code to set the options:
cast.framework.CastContext.getInstance().setOptions({
receiverApplicationId: castReceiverId,
autoJoinPolicy: chrome.cast.AutoJoinPolicy.ORIGIN_SCOPED,
language: languageService.getCurrentLanguage().iso6393,
resumeSavedSession: true,
});
Is there a way to recover these params in the receiver code?
I have not found the way to recover init options, but I have set a custom namespace to pass a message through it from sender to receiver once the connection is set.
In Sender:
const customNameSpace = 'urn:x-cast:google.cast.custom';
const msg = {lang: senderApplicationLanguage};
context.getCurrentSession().sendMessage(customNameSpace, msg, onSuccess, onError);
Then just wait for it in receiver
const customNameSpace = 'urn:x-cast:google.cast.custom';
this.context.addCustomMessageListener(customNameSpace, (event) => {
const lang = event.data.lang;
});
Hope this helps someone!
