Desktop casting is available on the Google Cast plug-in, but it's in Beta at the moment. I personally haven't tested it myself though. I'm sure they'll get it working eventually though.

Rumour right now is that they're working on not just replicating your desktop, but your Android device as well. So good things coming to us Chromecast owners!
I tried casting US Netflix by just using the tab cast in Chrome but it's buggy.

Is there something else you're doing? I too am using MediaHint, and would love to be able to stream this way.
