How we can send mp4,m3u8,rtmp,flv,avi urls from iphone to chromecast to play them? Are these format supported by chromecast ?
Do we need a specific iPhone app so it send mp4,m3u8,rtmp,flv,avi urls to chromecast? OR We can send media urls using iPhone chrome browser(i am not talking about screen mirroring here)?
If we can send direct media urls via iphone to chromecast device how about sending url of media page instead of actual media url will chromecast device play the media ?

As Paul indicated, the media formats supported by ChromeCast is limited. Video in other formats will have to be transcoded into the supported formats before sending it to the ChromeCast device. I've open sourced an app that does transcoding with VLC: https://github.com/entertailion/Fling
If you want to let the ChromeCast device load a web page with media embedded, be aware that ChromeCast does not support Flash. It does support web pages that use the HTML5 video player. To be able to load another page on a ChromeCast device you will have to write your own app and receiver html that will redirect to the page you want to load.
The easiest way to play media files that are not supported is to use the Chrome browser casting extension.

Supported media can be found on the developers site :
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media
Right now we support iOS native apps for casting content from iPhone/iPad.
