As far as I remember most apps (most prominent exception being YouTube) don't support that version of Chromecast anymore.


They should work, provided you let it update the software. However, the scene around rooting chromecasts died and I don't think you will retain root if you let it update. So you'll have to put it more effort to regain root, but in theory it should be possible.


Sounds like another cool project I wish I had time for.
