Can't add YouTube videos to TV queue #85

Open stuartlangridge opened 9 years ago

The YouTube mobile apps can, when casting to Chromecast, add individual videos to a "TV queue"; the Chromecast then remembers this queue and plays the videos in it one after the other, even if the mobile app is exited. Castnow doesn't seem to have this ability to add to a TV queue; is this because it doesn't work the way I think it does, or because nobody knows yet which messages to send to the Chromecast to make it enqueue videos, or perhaps castnow can do this and I'm just blind and can't see how :-)

Castnow maintains its own queue which dosn't have todo anything with the Queue from the youtube mobile app or the youtube website.

And indeed I think nobody really knows what messages need to be sent to add something to the "real" youtube queue. So feel free to reverse engineer and tell us your findings :D
