Ask HN: What is going on with Google Chromecast?
6 points by herodoturtle 3 months ago | 6 commentsOurs stopped working yesterday out of the blue (we couldn't stream to it). I thought it was broken. Tried a factory reset, and following all instructions on Google Home, all to no avail.
Checked out Reddit and it turns out lots of folks are experiencing the exact same issue across the world. It all started a couple days ago.
Anyone have any idea what's up?
- OhMeadhbh 3 months agoIt's an expired intermediate certificate in the chain of the device certificate.

- thorin 3 months agoI managed to temporarily fix my casting from android phone to TV today by fdroid activity manager to ignore certificates for casting using some instructions I found online. It's working well now.
- wnevets 3 months agothis taking so long to fix is bizarre.
