Adding support for custom chromecast channels
- In Chrome, go to
chrome://net-export/ - Select 'Include raw bytes (will include cookies and credentials)'
- Click 'Start Logging to Disk'
- Open a new tab, browse to your favorite application on the web that has Chromecast support and start casting.
- Go back to the tab that is capturing events and click on stop.
- Open https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/ and select your event log file.
- Browse to https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/#events&q=type:SOCKET, and find the socket that has familiar JSON data.
- Go through the results and collect the JSON that is exchanged.
- Now you can create a new class that inherits from ChromecastChannel and implement the logic to send and receive messages.
