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.

    It’s possible to encrypt traffic without a cert that expires.

    I don’t know much about how Chromecast works but my bet is that it’s like a hacked together lighthttp or nginx server, which is why it needs a SSL cert renewal.
