I would love to see Chromecast support added to the media player for desktop and mobile.

    Chromecast must also support casting subtitles together with video.

    This can sort of work now using the following videojs (which AMP seems to be based on) plug-in:

    However, I can't get it to work with DRM content (i.e. Widevine).

    I would like to see casting support built into AMP. Particularly Chromecast, but Xbox One, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku. ConnectSDK (by LG) provides a JavaScript Bridge that could possibly be leveraged by AMP.
