Why can't I turn off Google Cast scripts when using <mux-video>?

[digitalfreelanceruk]

I'm using mux for a simple website auto-playing video and from what I can see, loads this Google script: https://www.gstatic.com/cv/js/sender/v1/cast_sender.js?loadCastFramework=1

Which in turn loads two more scripts:
https://www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/sender/1.0/cast_framework.js
https://www.gstatic.com/eureka/clank/130/cast_sender.js

Even with a disableremoteplayback attribute which I believe should block use of casting, and a chromecast="false" attribute (I think ChatGPT gave me that suggestion), I can't stop these scripts from loading.

I don't want Google scripts. I don't want unnecessary scripts.

Can anyone advise how best to stop these scripts please?

Thanks for the feedback. I think that's a valid request.

I'll move this to an issue in the repo that contains the castable-video project.

Great, thank you. Do you know off-hand that if I used mux-player I'd be able to stop these scripts from loading?

At the moment it's not possible I believe.

this is supported in the latest release 🎉

adding the disableremoteplayback attribute or in React adding disableRemotePlayback={true} will prevent the loading of the cast scripts.
