ChromeCast: Chrome sample project not running

I am following the setup instructions here: https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-chrome step by step.

I have my Google Drive hosting folder here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByI6ac75SrewSE1odEdBMm1fNk0&usp=sharing

I set my URL (for my application in the developer console) to https://googledrive.com/host/0ByI6ac75SrewSE1odEdBMm1fNk0/receiver.html

However, when I run my chromehellotext: https://googledrive.com/host/0ByI6ac75SrewSE1odEdBMm1fNk0/chromehellotext.html I get this error in the console: "onError: {"code":"session_error","description":"NOT_FOUND","details":null}" and my Chromecast will not connect when I hit the carriage return and select my Chromecast.

What am I doing wrong?

Checking the box for sending the serial number to google solved this problem for me as well. It took me a few minutes to figure out where this box is so that I could check it. I had to download the chromecast setup application and then let it discover my device, select it, and click settings. The checkbox is in the settings.

It can take up to 6 hours to publish your receiver app. As the docs suggest, all you need to do is restart your Chromecast to force the device to reload it's configuration data. I was having this same issue and a restart was all I needed.
