<Update label="2026-07-16" tags={["Stream","(Improvement)"]}>
We've just updated the Bunny player with a rebuilt Chromecast experience. Casting now supports eDRM (Widevine-protected) videos, closing a long-standing gap versus the legacy player.
The TV experience feels native, with the video title and thumbnail on screen and player colors and captions appearance (color, font, size, language) synced from the embed.
Viewers keep full playback control while casting — audio track selection works before and during a session, and playback rate changes apply on the TV. Session handling is seamless too: playback continues from the current position when casting starts and transfers back on stop, with page reloads, replays after the video ends with a smoother experience overall.

Added direct play URL and embed URL examples with query parameters, documented the -auto captions flag, and improved cross-linking between Stream pages. Updated MP4 fallback documentation to reflect support for 240p, 360p, 720p & 1080p resolutions. Learn more
