Show URL or title of page being cast

[JeroenBakker]

It would be great if in the overview under the current app of a chromecast, you'd be able to see exactly what's being cast in the form of a title or URL of a web page.
When everything is labeled as "chromecast-kiosk-web" it doesn't really tell you that much.

The problem is, I'm not sure if it's even possible to pass such information along to or from a chromecast.

Just noticed this is possibly a duplicate of #6

You are right it would be a great feature. I already tried once but, as you mentioned, for me it seems not to be possible possible to pass this information.

But I'll keep this issue open. Thanks mate!

You would think it's possible since this information is freely available when using Chrome's own interface for casting tabs (assuming they use all the same APIs as we do).

If i get this right there is a way to exchange messages. I'll will give it a try in my spare time.

Edit:
Should be possible .. Request/Response since v. 0.9
