Google has a fix for all of the broken Chromecasts

"Buy new Chromecasts."

My whole house audio runs off a product Google no longer makes unfortunately (Chromecast audios).
There's, no like-for-like new version, and no good replacement that I've found. Thankfully, this was a fixable problem and they fixed it vs. Just EOLing them.

It’s amazing how they basically perfected something, and then just dropped it in the trash.
I know it’s easy to explain that they basically sold them to everyone who wanted one. But it really feels like a device that/situation that a company like Google could maintain as a good will thing. As a standard. As a protocol.

WiiM Pro is a good replacement and support far more protocols in addition to chromecast audio, and much better DACs, but is at a different price point (though a far better value than anything else on the market).

I had some luck cobbling together a HiFiBerry with some speakers. It's not the same thing, but it does show up like a streamable audio device.
It's not super cheap though.

Except that, despite their usual MO, they did actually fix it so people didn't need to buy new devices.

Just load their new spyware.

There is a way to connect your phone. Wireless with Wi-Fi or on a network without using a Chromecast. https://youtu.be/RkpQqmNRXic

You keep spamming this video when all it does is tell people you have never bought a low-end tv in your life. A good chunk of TVs do not have any kind of built-in casting or screen mirroring, which is what the chromecast product line is for.

I actually have like tons of TVs that I buy from the thrift store, so that's wrong. I'm just like obsessed with helping people find ways around Google. You can have a better experience with just finding an old dusty laptop. I would just get an old crappy laptop and a crappy monitor and call it a day. I usually use computers in an active way, instead of a passive way. I like to find solutions around big tech for pennies. There's like a thousand ways to skin a cat, bruh.
