In place of the Chromecast, the company will offer the newly announced $99.99 Google TV Streamer, which launches on September 24th. The set-top box comes with some significant spec bumps over the Chromecast with Google TV, such as a processor that’s 22 percent faster, along with Thread and Matter integration.
Replacing it with something 3x as much that more or less does the same thing.
I was already considering Jellyfin as a possible replacement, and this pretty much ensures it.
Why does it matter if the processor is faster, I'm not watching videos at double speed anyways
And just like that I gave up on casting and shifted back to a dedicated streaming PC like it's 2010. I changed the way I consumed my media for you, Google, and your thanks in return was betraying us by retiring the equipment that we came to rely on left and right. I'm still pissed about Chromecast audio.
God I'm tired of this shit.
Chromecast audio
When they disco'd them I found like 6 at Walmart for 3.99.
I bought them all. Lol
They are still in a box... But Ill have a use for them... Probably
As someone with an OG Chromecast and occasionally uses it to cast photos, any reason I should find a recently discontinued "last model" to replace mine?
