I don't use any extra configuration.

What did you do?

Tested casting the streams from the Exoplayer Cast Demo app and they gave an error like below.

{"type":"ERROR","detailedErrorCode":100,"severity":2,"error":{"shakaErrorCode":3018,"shakaErrorData":["https://devstreaming-cdn.apple.com/videos/streaming/examples/bipbop_4x3/gear4/fileSequence1.ts"],"shakaErrorStack":"Error: Shaka Error 3018\n    at new T (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:66:296)\n    at HD.r.transmux (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:1498:205)\n    at Ea.h (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:412:359)\n    at Ha (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:21:299)\n    at Ja.next (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:22:91)\n    at https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:22:484\n    at new Promise (<anonymous>)\n    at Ka (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:22:377)\n    at P (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:23:22)\n    at vk (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.12.5/shaka-player.compiled.js:410:149)","shakaErrorSeverity":2}} 

Also tested at https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com but still produces errors like:

[Shaka Error MEDIA.TRANSMUXING_FAILED (https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/CastVideos/hls/designing_for_google_cast/fileSequence0.ts)](https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/docs/api/shaka.util.Error.html#value:3018)

What did you expect to happen?

These streams were working on Web Receiver if you dont opt-in with useShakaForHls: true and add a line like

loadRequestData.media.hlsSegmentFormat = cast.framework.messages.HlsSegmentFormat.TS;

However, after opting-in to use Shaka for HLS streams, they showed errors.

For versions of 4.12.5, 4.9.2-caf3, 4.9.2-caf2 they produce the transmuxing error.

Interestingly downgrading my Web Receiver's Shaka version to 4.3.4 makes the first HLS (adaptive): Apple 4x3 basic stream stream work. But, produces different error for the second stream like below:

[cast.framework.media.ShakaPlayer] category: 4
code: 4032
stack: undefined
severity: CRITICAL
data: []

Are you planning to send a PR to fix it?
It's probably beyond my level of understanding
