ChromeCast: Chrome sample project not running

I follow the installation instructions here: https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-chrome step by step.

I have a folder for hosting Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByI6ac75SrewSE1odEdBMm1fNk0&usp=sharing

I set my URL (for my application in the developer console) to https://googledrive.com/host/0ByI6ac75SrewSE1odEdBMm1fNk0/receiver.html

However, when I run my chromehellotext: https://googledrive.com/host/0ByI6ac75SrewSE1odEdBMm1fNk0/chromehellotext.html I get this error in the console: "onError: {" code ":" session_error "," description ":" NOT_FOUND ", "details": null} "and my Chromecast will not connect when I click on carriage return and select Chromecast.

What am I doing wrong?

Checking the field for sending the serial number on google solved this problem for me as well. It took me a few minutes to figure out where this box is, so I can check it. I had to download the chromometer setup application, and then let it open my device, select it and click on settings. The checkbox is in the settings.

It may take up to 6 hours to publish your receiver application. As the documentation suggests, all you have to do is restart Chromecast to force the device to reload configuration data. I had the same problem and needed a restart.

Make sure your receiver application downloads the javascript file cast_receiver.js and also starts the castReceiverManager instance.

I saw the same timeout message before I did this. My recipient source code was just static HTML, but apparently this is not enough.

The following, in my index.html receiver, helped:

< script src = "//www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/receiver/2.0.0/cast_receiver.js"> < / script>

< script>

  window.castReceiverManager = cast.receiver.CastReceiverManager.getInstance(); window.castReceiverManager.start();

< / script>

code>
