If you wish to hack on the custom Google Cast receiver, you'll need to register and whitelist (for debugging) your device and application to obtain an application ID.

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration

Once registered, you can update config.js with your application ID and namespace. You can use the default namespace, or create your own. The namespace can be anything as long as it starts with urn:x-cast:.

See the Google Cast documentation for more details on setup and debugging: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/developers

If you wish to use my hosted receiver, feel free to leave the config as the defaults.
