It apparently works on Google TV (for Android apps, not html5 apps), so I'm curious if we'll be able to encode them as HLS (Http Live Streaming) for use with Chromecast?

It will now according to the updated SDK docs: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media

I'm guessing for contentType on MediaInfo you'll pass application/x-mpegURL.
