Glacier Cast Receiver

This is the custom Google Cast Web Receiver used for low-latency HLS casting.

To use it on devices:

  1. Host index.html over HTTPS.
  2. Register that URL as a Custom Receiver in the Google Cast SDK Developer Console.
  3. Put the assigned receiver app ID in .env:
CAST_RECEIVER_APP_ID=YOUR_APP_ID

If CAST_RECEIVER_APP_ID is empty, the Android app falls back to Google's default media receiver so existing casting still works.
