Research direction

Start with the proposed DIAL and mDNS approaches, then read the linked Multicast DNS, Avahi, and avahi-gobject references. Done means the video player can cast videos to a Chromecast. The issue names no files or tests, so the implementation scope and verification steps require project investigation.
