Setup Instructions

1. Get a Google Cast device and get it set up for development: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/developers#setup_for_development.
2. [Optional] Register an application on the Developers Console http://cast.google.com/publish. The easiest would be to use the Styled Media Receiver option. You will get an App ID when you finish registering your application. This project uses a published Application ID that can be used to run the app without using your own ID but if you need to do any console debugging, you would need to have your own ID.
3. Install the latest Chrome browser.
4. Put all files on your own server.
5. Use the default media receiver app or change YOUR_APP_ID to your own in CastVideos.js.
6. Open a browser and point to your page at http://[YOUR_SERVER_LOCATION]/CastVideos-chrome/.
