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.
