Doesn't seem to work with YouTube anymore

[christianselig]

The default media player works fine with MP4 URLs, but if I directly try to launch the YouTube app with client.launch(appId: "YouTube"), the result object is always a failure, stating:

launch("Unable to get launched app instance")

Did YouTube break it completely, or am I doing something silly?

YouTube probably broke it. I’ll try to find time to look into this.

That'd be phenomenal, would be happy to compensate you for it, this is a phenomenal library. Feel free to DM me on Twitter (@christianselig, or email, me at christianselig dot com). I noticed casttube manages to do it, but my Python's not super strong. Let me know if I can help at all.

Heck @mhmiles I'd love to hire you for like an hour or two to bit to pick your brain about the Chromecast API, it's vexing me.

@christianselig are you still using this library? I'm interested in using it instead of the Google SDK.
