Chromecast to multiple devices

I'm building a web application and I need to cast some media (photos and maybe videos) to multiple TV sets. So far not too bad, I've managed to build my sender application that sends to a chromecast device and then after looking into others I learned I can use different instances of chrome profiles to even broadcast to multiple TV sets at once and that's also done.

Here are my questions and issues at this time. 1) As far as I know there is no way to bypass the user popup that selects a device for broadcasting and I kind of understand the logic however it would really be the best if somehow this could be by passed. I don't have to use chrome and html code and if this means I need to write in Java or use other platforms it's fine. What I hope is to be able to select the device via my code instead of via user popup from the extension. Even if we need some sort of one time authentication I understand but the issue is as it stands today, anytime I restart my browser I have to go over the selection process. In my case this suppose to be an unattended application and having this user required step is really a huge issue. 2) I like to know if I can broadcast to multiple devices within the same html page or application. Again at this time my understanding is a single session can be established at any given time with a single chromecase device under a single user profile. My requirement calls for broadcasting to multiple devices at the same time from the same application/page. Any way I can do this within a single profile?

Any help or pointers is very much appreciated.

You won't be able to bypass the popup; that is the model we would like to follow. As for broadcasting to multiple devices, that is not supported either.
