sample with playing a youtube video doesn't work

[capaj]

I have this code:

var chromecast = require('chromecast')();
chromecast.discover();

chromecast.on('device', function(device){
  // device is the chromecast device
  console.log('discovered', device)
  device.launch('YouTube', {
    v: 'cKG5HDyTW8o'
  });
});

discovered Device {
  location: 'http://172.20.10.5:8008/ssdp/device-desc.xml',
  applicationUrl: 'http://172.20.10.5:8008/apps/',

This problem appears to be related to the dial module included in this repo. A little investigation turns up this issue: iceddev/dial#4

Looks like DIAL used to be used to discover Chromecasts, but is no longer functional. That may mean that discovery needs to be done in a different manner.
