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.

    I have to think there’s some project out there where you could plug a 3.5 to RCA adapter into a Pi and use it in a similar fashion. Maybe would need a bridge app from the ‘cast’ function to connect to it, but I expect not impossible.

        The computational capacity of the first gen compared to current gen is huge. As such, there are a few popular projects that try to be an everything-streamer

          It wasn’t a computing power issue: simply plugging a hat into the same exact pi B2 fixed the issue.

          I’ve tried to Google for an article about this but I didn’t get lucky. Essentially it was something about how the jack output was driven using pwm that was causing hissing and crackling if I remember right.

          And I concur that it’s a good everything streamer if you use the HDMI output or a hat with an audiophile-grade audio output.

          Edit: the latest pis might still have a better-driven jack output but I still won’t trust it unless I test it thoroughly.

          Edit: I was using the B2 and not the 2B but this is the issue I had: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/38023/3-5-mm-jack-starts-to-hiss-after-sound-is-played
