Sorry if the questions seem repetitive, but can you confirm that there is no way to take advantage of the MediaManager in the receiver and getting a hold of the media session in the sender if loading the media from the receiver? I am looking for something like chrome.cast.Session.loadMedia() but initated from the receiver.

MediaManager is built to receiver media control messages from senders and handle those and provide feedback to senders when appropriate; if you want to have a different flow, you need to build something that fits your own use case. | |

Isn't there a way to load media from the receiver that a sender gets updates on? Wouldn't that be the same mechanism as a sender getting updates from media loaded by a different sender? | |
