### Question
How to cast HLS to chromecast?

What I'm doing:

1. Clone https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer
2. Choose demo-cast module
3. In sample with name "Clear DASH: Tears" I replaced
url with:
https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8
and type with:
MimeTypes.APPLICATION_M3U8/"application/x-mpegurl"
4. Run demo-cast
5. Select "Clear DASH: Tears" from "Add samples" dialog
6. Then click on cast button and choose your existing chromecast room
7. Chromecast trying to play content, but fails and shows only stub and logcat message:
