You may want to first check Google Cast SDK Additional Developer Terms of Service wherein it was mentioned under Developer policies that:

  • 3.4.8 must not automatically cast content. Content should only be cast in response to a user request to cast that content;

To connect YouTube app to Chromecast device, please check Discovery Troubleshooting wherein it was mentioned that YouTube apps uses some specialized discovery mechanisms.

  • This app is not going to be publish on play store. Its for my own use so i am not worried about developer polishes. I am just exploring to connect youtube app to chrome cast by direct launching from my app. – P.K. Mar 06 '17 at 09:16
