Casting HLS adaptive stream(multiple bit-rate) fails with democastplayer Sample using MediaPlayer Library.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are trying to stream HLS adaptive stream master playlist on Chrome-cast. 
In accordance to use Media Player Library for cast, We are using the receiver 
app from a sample in git-hub 
(https://github.com/googlecast/Cast-Media-Player-Library-Sample).

MediaPlayer Library version updated to 0.5.0.
We have registered the chrome-cast device and also registered the receiver app.

We are working with the democastplayer sample with-in the 
android-sdk/extras/google_play_services/..
Our stream does not play in the sample we are using. The streams are tested 
over a variety of player and are confirmed to be fine. But same are not able to 
be cast, though the sample streams play/cast as expected.

A sample stream in question:

The log shows you have "?null=403", is that correct?

No, the stream link is only 
"http://mavshackhdvod-vh.akamaihd.net/i/IND-DVD-02-011--Inkaar--F--HQ21_,950,512
,320,.mp4.csmil/index_0_av.m3u8?null=". Remaining "403 (Forbidden) 
media_player.js:52" is the error message.

You need to retest this and use our Default or Styled receivers. Also, the 403 
that you were getting is something that you need to resolve on your side.

Closing the issue due to lack of response

As already mentioned in the same thread earlier, we have tested with both 
Default and Styled receivers. Also we are using google's sample custom receiver 
code for our receiver. Still we get same issue. 

The 403 we are getting is because the links are tokenized. Once the master 
playlist is validated with the token, the token is further saved in the cookies 
to validate each segment. But as we checked with the chromecast debug resources 
with 9222 port on device ip, we dont see any cookies getting saved. 

Any help on this will be really helpful.
