Casting and live TV, fixed on Android
A patch for the two things 0.5.0 shipped that Android would not let through.
The receiving device was blocking the stream itself. Android's network policy allows plain http to loopback only, and a cast arrives from a bare address on the local network that there is no way to name in that file. Neither end could see it - the sending machine was told the film was fine, so the only symptom was a spinner on the television.
Fixes
- Casting to an Android TV works.
- Live TV channels served over plain http play on Android, for the same reason.
- A failed cast now names the right machine: "The device this was cast from couldn't be reached - check it is still on and on this network", instead of a message that sent you to the Sources screen over a television that had gone to sleep.
- Windows builds again. mpv and ffmpeg are fetched under their renamed upstream assets, and the translation scripts no longer build broken paths out of a file URL.
