This PR will...
Update this repo's older dependencies and build scripts. Also refactored some logic and updated cast receiver syntax as we are migrating to Web Receiver v3 https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/migrate_v2/receiver.
General list of things I did with this PR:
Although I tried to fix a lot of the basic core functionality, such as being able to control playback with the sender app player, there are still issues that need to be addressed such as:
jwplayer().getPosition()
on the jwplayer in the web receiver app and the jwplayer on Desktop web app starting the cast session and they returned different values). This does not affect the controls (pause, play, volume setting, next playlist item, etc) but the time being out of sync seems to cause the sender app player to show a buffering state quite often. This might be something we have to adjust on our sender app side??Why is this Pull Request needed?
Spike ticket
