Prerequisites
Type of Change
Feature
Description
Update and expand Chromecast device families. This adds support to differentiate between types of Chromecast devices and operating systems, and fixes erroneous classification of Android-based Chromecasts.
Test
Extracted several current useragent strings from various device types in a lab, then added them to the automated tests in us-parser-js. These tests are passing.
Impact
No breaking changes AFAICT.
Other Info
I'm a current member of the Chromecast team at Google, as well as the TL for the open source Shaka Player. We test our video player on many, many devices in a lab using Karma, which uses ua-parser-js to match test results to each device. We need these changes to differentiate between the Chromecast devices in our lab.
