Chromecast and Airplay

The nuevo plugin features Chromecast and AirPlay casting functionality for the player. You can enable both options either on the Nuevo settings page in WordPress Admin globally or enable it through the Nuevo shortcode, e.g.

[nuevo airplay=true chromecast=true source="src=//hls-playlist-url.m3u8 type=application/x-mpegURL" poster="//poster-image-url.jpg"]

The Chromecast plugin supports VTT text tracks (subtitles) display. You can also provide a video title, subtitle, and thumbnail to display on TV while casting. The default size of the thumbnail image is 96×143 pixels. The image is scaled to fit the expected dimensions, keeping the aspect ratio. Here’s how you can define the mentioned Chromecast parameters.

[nuevo airplay=true chromecast=true source="src=//hls-playlist-url.m3u8 type=application/x-mpegURL" poster="//poster-image-url.jpg" metathumbnail="//chromecast-thumbnail-url.jpg" metatitle="Chromecast title" metasubtitle="Chromecast sub-title"]

Please note that ChromeCast is supported by a limited number of browsers. It will work on desktop Chrome, Edge, and Opera and on Chrome for Android.

AirPlay is supported on iOS-based devices like iPhones or iPads.
