How to make a private Chromecast app, not meant to be published?

I have downloaded the CastVideos-android and made changes to it so it fits my needs... But probably only my needs! It will not be usable by anyone else, this is for my intranet configuration only...

It works fine using the app_id provided in the refplayer, but changing it to my own app_id, the Chromecast icon doesn't show up. This has to do with the app not being correctly registered at the Dev Console, but...

Since this is an app that is never meant to be published, what do I do to make the icon appear and my app to work for me, myself and I alone?

Thank you!

You can login to your Cast Developer Console and add the serial numbers of the Chromecast devices that you own. Doing that allows those cast devices to recognize your unpublished app; for a small number of Cast devices, this is a pretty manageable solution.
