If you’re getting “Untrusted device” on your Chromecast today, you’re not alone. It looks like an expired cert.

Seems like a fix is on the way.
Well shit, I have a couple of BNIB Chromecast audios lying around for years that I’ve been meaning to put on eBay. Hopefully they fix them so they’re not paperweights.
I always had issues with chromecast. And I haven’t used one in 5+ years. I assumed they were better by now?
Well, they’re all but discontinued now.
They’re pretty good. The affected models are 10-year-old now. Not that it means they should stop working, but just some context.
Holy hell! I couldn’t cast to my chromecast audio even though nothing changed with my setup. Now I know why.
I gotta look at the non google options.
Hopefully, the company can send out a server-side fix in short order.
The Chromecast (2nd gen) and Chromecast Audio are two of Google’s oldest devices, with both announced at the same event in September of 2015.
Yeah those are likely considered dead and abandoned by google, they will probably not give a shit about it.
I have to think there’s some project out there where you could plug a 3.5 to RCA adapter into a Pi and use it in a similar fashion. Maybe would need a bridge app from the ‘cast’ function to connect to it, but I expect not impossible.
I’ve tried it but the audio quality was absolutely atrocious on the first pi generations at least. I got a hat from a third party for it.
The computational capacity of the first gen compared to current gen is huge. As such, there are a few popular projects that try to be an everything-streamer
There’s nothing else like the Chromecast audio, and it’s a crying shame that Google discontinued them. I have four and rely on them every day. I sure hope they will fix this issue.
The WiiM devices support google cast and many other protocols.
