  Chromecast stopped working on me today, thought my device died but turns out it’s widespread. Thought I’d share in case anyone else came looking for answers.

  My Google Streamer has been working without any issues., FWIW.

    I may have to switch to something else if they’ve intentionally bricked the chromecast. It definitely won’t be a Google product though if this turns out to be intentional. If anyone has any recommendations, I’m all ears.

      I’ve got a 2nd gen that I’m hoping they’ll patch. It sounds like it’s an expired security certificate across the board. These usually aren’t a hard fix to push out and Google had stated to support existing Chromecasts for the near future.

    It’s just the 2nd gen and the audio devices. They are working on a fix.

  This work-around worked for me if anyone else needs it. It’s a bit cumbersome but beats buying a new device. Hopefully Google pushes out a fix.
