The update is mostly security patches and bug fixes
It’s probably time to buy the Google TV Streamer
It hasn’t been a great week so far for Chromecast and Chromecast Audio users: the 2015 versions of both devices have been suffering from what appears to be a server problem that won’t let users Cast audio and video to them. So it’s nice to report some good news. Google is now rolling out the Android 14 update for Chromecast with Google TV devices.
As Android Police reports, Google discontinued the Chromecast line-up in 2024 in favor of the new Google TV Streamer. But Google did promise that while the older devices can’t match the new Streamer in terms of hardware capability (the Streamer is also a Thread hub for smart homes), it still intended to bring them the Android 14 update.
