There is a bug in the original cast player that if the audio is in ts format it cannot be automatically recognized by the player. (Similar issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55385491/why-is-chromecast-unable-to-stream-this-hls-video-neither-id3-nor-adts-header) Since the audio of your video is in ts format, you need to set the hlsSegmentFormat to HlsSegmentFormat.TS. However, this is incompatible with audio in other formats. This is why I created this custom player, which allows the sender to specify hlsSegmentFormat. In your case, you can specify {"hlsSegmentFormat":4} in customData, in which 4 stands for TS. See here for all the values.
