Not an issue, just a request for info ...

I was wondering if it were possible interact with the webpage? I'm casting to a Vizio TV which uses a built-in Chromecast Ultra. The "native" apps are HTML5, but they won't tell you the URLs (and they don't get shown when you query the Chromecast, which is odd - it says the Chromecast is idle). Anyway, remote buttons can interact with these apps. Is it possible to write apps that behave this way?

Assuming I can get the site to display, do the remote buttons send html events or something in some way? Is there a way to find out how to detect this?
