bit unfortunate. Maybe we could do an application that will just
forward to another application.

Troubleshooting
-----------------

Troubleshooting is quite complex. Due to a recent change, users are
only allowed to debug their own application. You need to `register
your Chromecast`_ and register and host a copy of the Chromecast
receiver. You'll get an ID for the Chromecast application and should
use ``--chromecast.app`` to specify it.

Once the application is running, you can connect to your Chromecast
device using its IP on port 9222.

Either way, due to the closedness of the Chromecast platform, its
support in Dashkiosk may break from time to time. As soon as it
doesn't work anymore, feel free to signal it in an `issue`_. If
needed, it is possible to help debugging by registering a Chromecast
device on the same account hosting the regular Dashkiosk receiver.
