Chromecast Webpage Viewer

Display a full screen webpage on Chromecast

Notes

Based off CastHelloText-chrome.

Uses a proxy to allow sites which don't allow being displayed in an iframe. The html is loaded (following redirects) and the base of the iframe is set to the final url. See proxy.php for the code.

Development

The applicationId defined within the code is for a published app which should work with all Chromecasts. To work with this locally you can use this id but it will only work with the receiver.html file hosted on github pages. To use your own receiver you need to signup to and register an app with Google Cast SDK Developer Console.
