Google Cast/Live Channels Support?

[bgiesing]

How hard would Chromecast support be? With the popularity of it, it would be awesome to send your channel to the TV. (You can currently do it by casting the tab and going into full screen but it's not the same.) You might want to look at how Pluto.TV does it as they also sync videos on Chromecast.

Another thing would be Android TV Live Channels which allows you to stream it in the native Android TV app. This would require an app though so it might not be practical.

I've never attempted to write anything for the Chromecast, but I talked to someone who wrote a Chromecast plugin for a similar website and it sounded like it was a decent bit of work. I don't own an Android device or a TV, so it's not really feasible for me to develop either of these options right now, but perhaps someone else would be interested in looking at it.
