This is nice. Though, I plan on going through the source code later, can you give a short gist of how it works?

I don't know which part you're most interested in, but in a nutshell: the events are fetched from the same API as the Apple TV Events app (found that using a proxy), the Chromecast streaming uses Bonjour to find Chromecast devices on the network and the CASTV2 protocol over TCP to send commands to them.

How what works ? Are you asking about the fetching of the streams or the Chromecast support ?
