    My short localized minor inconvenience is finally over!

    (Or was a couple of days ago)

    I’m not sure what a good replacement would be if this hadn’t been fixed. The one I first saw suggested used a separate app and there’s no way that is being maintained long term.

      If the problem is an expired device certificate then this was a very quick turnaround.

      All shipped chromecast receiver devices have the device cert private key safely locked behind a TPM. Sending new certificates across the network without carefully planning things gives us a chance to intercept them & use them in our own receiver software which could e.g. download streams from Netflix/ Disney etc.
