Cast from Google Music? #67

Is it possible to cast a playlist from google music? or spotify? Haven't found anything like this in any other library, so not sure if it's even posible

If no official app can do it, chances are it's not possible :)

The google music app and webpage let you cast, so it's possible, there's a receiver app. Once playing, it can be controlled with the MediaController in castv2-client. I don't seem to be able to snoop the websocket traffic on my Chrome, but I guess there's going to be some kind of access tokens involved anyway, which would probably prevent load a playlist without an official app involved.
