We have introduced absoluteStartTime options for timeshifted live streams, which is a universal way to set start time in order to enable casting a live stream at a specific start time (timeshifted).
IOS and Android Chromecast senders should use this options for timeshifted live streams when casting, othervise the playback will start from the live point and not from the timeshifted position. If the startTime is after the live edge, casting will start from live edge and if before the DASH stream startTime (which is dashed on demand), the casting will start from beginning of the stream. When taking back session, iOS and Android Chromecast senders can calculate the absoluteStartTime and start playback locally from that point.
