Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio cannot Cast in 'Untrusted' outage [U]

Over the past few hours, owners of the Chromecast (2nd gen) and Chromecast Audio haven’t been able to Cast any audio or video content.

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

    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.

        Thanks for the link! Too bad they’re stupid expensive in comparison to my old CCAs ;(

          The mini is pretty cheap but unfortunately doesn’t have google cast.

          The pro is still an excellent value as it has way better DACs than the google cast and a lot more format support. But yes, on an absolute cost perspective it’s not as cheap as the old chrome cast audios were.

          But there’s still nothing available at this level of quality and features at this price , most comparible stuff is 2-3x the price.

    Those certificates should not exist in first place. That is just a bad design.

    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.

    I always had issues with chromecast. And I haven’t used one in 5+ years. I assumed they were better by 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.
