…urces Unmuxed video+audio sources that point at the same HLS manifest (e.g. Nebula) crashed FCast casting with a ClassCastException. Chromecast also broken on the same source due to castProxiedHls resolving playlist-relative URLs against the pre-redirect request URL and dropping the EXT-X-MAP init segment.

Chromecast rejects the load (LOAD_FAILED) when an HLS audio rendition is tagged LANGUAGE="und", as seen with Nebula's RiffTrax content.

Noticed that Rifftrax videos on Nebula were failing to ChromeCast. Tracked it down to their HLS audio being tagged "und" - which ChromeCast doesn't like. Dropping the tag fixes the issue. |

Nebula gives video and audio as two sources that are actually the same HLS manifest, which castIfAvailable didn't have a path for - causing an "JSHLSManifestSource" error. Fixing that showed two bugs in castProxiedHls on Chromecast. It resolved playlist-relative URLs against the pre-redirect URL instead of the actual response URL (Nebula's manifest 302s to a different host), and it dropped the EXT-X-MAP init segment when rebuilding the proxied playlist, breaking fMP4 playback.
Fixes #3239 .
Tested on a Pixel 10 casting Nebula video to both FCast receiver and Chromecast - Nebula videos play correctly on both now. Performed random tests of other sources - they continue to work comparatively to an unmodified version of Grayjay.
