If you connect a �controller" page to a YouTube page in TV mode [1], the paired targets show up in a UI selection, along with the name of the available Chromecast, as shown here: http://roettsch.es/player_target_list.png

This server requires a login when I click on the link. However, I think I understand what you mean and thanks for reminding of this important use case.

I tested the Cast Chrome extension and YouTube in Chrome with multiple Chromecasts, and they show up as entires with names in the page-embedded YouTube selection dialog (even though the web-based Cast SDK does not allow enumerating them).

So, not only proprietary paired devices as in our Youtube.com/tv<http://Youtube.com/tv> example, but also Chromecasts do show up in the YouTube�s page selection UI.

If your goal is to cover most Chromecast usage scenarios under Presentation API, it seems to me that name-based enumeration would be required.
