Olá, estou enfrentando um problema irritante, que é o meu Google Chromecast não conseguir ser autenticado pelo Google Home, mesmo depois de executar várias redefinições de fábrica. Espero que isso possa resolver o problema, mas infelizmente não resolveu. Preciso muito de ajuda.

Para volver a configurarlo sin que salga el error de  autenticidad, solo tienes que cambiar la fecha antes del 9 de marzo.. configuras el chromecast para que se que se conecte a red. No se puede puede enviar contenido despues pero esta conectado para que reciba la actualizacion 

[Fando]

Como se que esta conectado si no se conecta a internet? O al menos eso parece no me aparece el "habitacion principal" arriba que era la ubicacion que tenia antes ni el nombre de mi wi-fi, como se que va a recibir la actualizacion?

[Ldr1987]

Não consigo configurar meu Chromecast, não conecta mais ao celular e nem a rede

Desde el pasado día 9 del presente mi Chromecast pérdida de acceso debido a que ya no contaba con licencia el producto, sé que están trabajando en esto pero quisiera saber qué va a pasar con los equipos que reiniciamos de fábrica los cuales ya no van a estar conectados a internet y no van a recibir la nueva licencia , quiero saber cómo lo voy a poder utilizar nuevamente .

Gracias

Desde anoche ya me funciona Chromecast. Yo había restablecido a valores de fábrica, pero no lo hagáis. Lo que hice es retrasar la fecha de mi tablet (lo preferí al móvil por repercusiones de automatismos de la domótica de la casa y otras apps) a un mes antes y después lo reinstalé, así t saltas la línea de comando de la expiración de licencia, y después simplemente esperé a que se cargara la actualización de google para el Chromecast (que es lo que tendréis que hacer los que no habéis restablecido a fábrica) y ya está. AHORA FALTA VER COMO NOS COMPENSAN LOS CASI 6 DÍAS CON SERVICIO. ¿Verdad señór Google? ¿cuentas de almacenamiento extendidas gratuitas, o geminí pro de por vida por la gran cagada? ¿Un porcentaje grande de descuento para otro producto?

[Shubhro]

Do we have a timeline on this at all? I got a streamer yesterday but that did not work as well... Thank heavens Officeworks has a 30 days return policy... might go the Apple way.. cannot waste a weekend over this...Honestly folks if its a global issue, the fix cannot take this long!!

[Horizont]

Auf den vorhanden Gerät nach ein Werksreset des Chromecast 2 das Datum auf den 8 März zurück setzen von wo aus es eingerichtet wird .

Es wird wieder in der Home App angezeigt, vorerst ohne Funktion,  nun ist es zumindestens mit den W-Lan verbunden, hoffentlich kommt das versproche Update bald .

Cuando se Preve twnerlo solucionado?

Grazie per la notifica anche se tardiva. Attendiamo un urgente risoluzione del problema, nel 2025 non è ammissibile che passino giorni per avere una riaposta ed una soluzione. Spero che la prossima notifica sia in tempo reale. Un caro saluto

Saw this in an post but can’t find it anymore.

I did an hard reset of the chromecast and couldn’t reconnect with wifi. Found The following workaround on here.

Set The date on your device to before the malfunction (before march 8).

return to connecting The chromecast.

See, its connected to WiFi.
