Cast DR TV programs to your Chromecast easily!
DRCast Extension
This is not an official app developed by DR and I have no association with DR other than I pay my taxes ;)
In order for this to work, just browse to the program you want to see, then click the chromecast buttton and select your chromecast device. You need to have the Google Cast app installed as well (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd).
This app is dedicated to Pernille and Jeppe ;)
Please send feature requests and any errors to me so I can fix them.
