Other users chimed in, stating the Android 14 update for the Chromecast with Google TV caused severe problems with external storage. Another report said the same and that their device "won't recognize" their storage drive. Aside from these problems, one user claims, after updating, their Chromecast remote isn't working as it did previously.

Second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio devices are facing a problem that prevents them from casting content. If you try to use an affected device, you'll see one of two errors -- either, "Untrusted device: [name] couldn't be verified. This could be caused by outdated device firmware," or "We couldn't authenticate your Chromecast."

Google has acknowledged an issue with older Chromecast devices. If you're experiencing a problem, it recommends you not perform a factory reset while the fix is implemented.
