Got my #Chromecast back up and running. Google's official page doesn't tell you how to, and actually makes it harder by saying do nothing; process will be automatic, it won't.
Changed phone date to 2 March. Now was able to connect, but only by adding as a new device in Home app. It automatically found the updates and applied them. Waited for all updates to run. Still not casting though. So, giving up, turned phone back to automatic date and time. Then it synced with Chromecast. All ok

A bunch of older #Chromecast devices stopped working this week. The cause: expired certificates.

#Google is rolling out fixes. An interesting write-up about the problem and what's likely happening behind the scenes: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/1j8wtxa/heres_why_a_fix_is_taking_so_long/

Never expected that such a small device could drive millions of users around the world crazy.

This is the fourth night without the Chromecast, and it's so damn annoying.

When will Google release a fix?

@awfulwoman I have a couple of #chromecast Audio devices myself, but I'm slowly phasing them out with pi zero boards running #piCorePlayer hooked up to #homeassistant .

I'm curious about other alternatives, though.

Gen 2 #Chromecast still down globally. 3 days now since Google allowed a certificate on their product to lapse. This kind of avoidable obsolescence is inexcusable. Apparently it affects all devices

Google's Chromecast v2 (2015) and Chromecast Audio stopped working this week due to an expired certificate. Google is working on a fix, but if you're affected one thing you should *not* do is factory reset your device while you wait. https://arstechnica.com/google/2025/03/googles-10-year-old-chromecast-is-busted-but-a-fix-is-coming/ #Chromecast #Google #MediaStreamer
