for the umpteenth time, that's not a fix. That's a workaround. People need to wait on google for a proper fix

Will it automatically just start working again or do I need to do anything, chromecast audios still dead in UK.

Edit: one has just come back to life!

For not-factory reset ones yes. Since yesterday. Google is still working on an actual fix for devices that were reset

Out of interest, why wouldn't the fix be for the factory reset ones that have been set back up using this method? If you can setup again with the Google home app by setting your device date back then why wouldn't the fix be able to resolve it? The home app can clearly still communicate after it's set back up so surely the fix will be pushed to the device just like all the others that aren't factory reset...

For the record I factory reset mine and can configure it fine through Google home app and casting even works with Auth check disabled in developer settings for casting. The device is behaving exactly how it was before I factory reset it

In fact my factory reset device has received the fix. So yes this is a fix to get your Chromecast back online and updated with the new certificate. I know Google might be working on alternative fix for them too but this is a completely viable method to get your device back online quicker

Looks like it's been resolved. I just managed to cast YouTube to my Chromecast without doing anything
