Chromecast Receiver: Custom XHR Loader

Question

I am writing a custom receiver for chromecast and was wondering if there is a way we can have our own, custom XHR loader functionality rather then the built in goog.net.XhrIo?

Basically I need to override the functionality of goog.net.XhrIo for all segments/fragments and media files.

I need this to send some beacons back to my servers for analytics.

Thanks!

If you are using the Media Player Library (MPL), then you can use skipRequest() and setResponse() to achieve what you want to do. Note that the Host class provides a number of overrides for updating Segments, Manifest, License and Captions request info.
