Unable to play HLS stream on Chromecast

[REQUIRED] Issue description

I'm unable to cast the following HLS stream https://lelive.akamaized.net/hls/live/2006512/MBR/playlist.m3u8 on Chromecast v2 or below. It works in Exoplayer perfectly, also works on Chromecast v3, Ultra, or on the Nvidia Shield in cast mode.

The error I get is the following one :

This doesn't seem like an ExoPlayer issue. Have you reported it to the Chromecast team? As an additional point, are you sure the media is supported, as per this page:

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media

Note in particular that Chromecast V1 and V2 support a lower maximum profile for H.264.

I've reported it at https://github.com/googlecast/CastVideos-android/issues/84 but this hasn't received any answers unfortunately

Was there any response? I am also facing the same

We can't help with that I'm afraid. This issue is on the Cast device which is not related to the ExoPlayer library.
