Show HN: Chromecast app I built for a bunch of "video" sites

Hey all - something I put together last night after hearing the news of Google opening up the dev tools.<p>You can visit, for example, a TED talk, hit the bookmarklet and it will pull down the MP4 behind the scenes and present it on a layer that&#x27;s now Chromecast friendly. Same goes for Vimeo, Plex.tv (without having to pay the $5&#x2F;mo) and quite a few other video sites that are most likely against the TOS to link to.<p>Definitely open to hearing the thoughts of the community!

Cool! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to put something together after the SDK came out. Answer: not long!<p>Question: is this 1) transcoding like &quot;cast this tab&quot; does (assuming not), 2) routing the original data stream via my computer, or 3) having the Chromecast download the stream directly?<p>And if #3, are there any issues with login permissions, cookies, etc. not being present on the Chromecast?

Thanks for this!<p>I will definitely try it out with plex later today.
