The Chromecast Dashboard stop working in last chrome version.

I have chrome v. 72.0.3626.119 (64 bit) running on windows 7 SP 1. Since update to this Google Chrome version Chromecast dashboard stops working.

I have follow message in developer console when I click "Launch": 

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestSession' of undefined

Assume this is related to #11 and should have probably been posted as an update to that issue. The code in question:

https://github.com/boombatower/chromecast-dashboard/blob/40c7d2619b04744a63d98e7b1f731c5d9def9cd9/sender/main.js#L68-L72

chrome.cast.requestSession means that chome.cast is undefined. That is outside the scope of this project as it is provided by chrome itself. I verified this on the same version on Linux and it works just fine. Please verify other sites can cast properly as I would suspect they do not.

I have checked Chromecast button on YouTube it is working fine. In same time, chromecast-dashboard cause an Exception in console.

Need to use the sender site in https. I switched the github pages site to force https although all the links in the repo are already https. Chrome (tm).
