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.

    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.

    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.

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

        It’s possible to encrypt traffic without a cert that expires.

        I don’t know much about how Chromecast works but my bet is that it’s like a hacked together lighthttp or nginx server, which is why it needs a SSL cert renewal.
