Launch Chromecast apps instead of default media player
I would like the adapter to parse the given "url2play" for some supported apps (like youtube, spotify, twitch, netflix, ...) and launch the proper chromecast application (receiver) and stream within that instead of using the default media player. The default media player seems to not be able to play youtube, twitch and many more content providers.
This would be indeed a useful feature - do you have information/examples on how the URLS would look like?
I'm imagining detecting the domain could be done. I can provide some examples for Spotify tomorrow but YouTube has soo many different url formats...
In order to implement this I would need information on what is the ID of the player to load for the URL.
