Bug#1023547: smplayer: leaks privacy info to google when using chromecast feature



Source: smplayer
Version: 22.7.0~ds0-1
Severity: normal

It seems from reading source code, that smplayer hardcodes the use of
Google DNS resolver 8.8.8.8, and uses that address every time the
Chromecast feature is used.  See file src/chromecast.cpp.

That behaviour leaks privacy information to Google:

Please patch code to skip that problematic step.
