Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio cannot Cast in 'Untrusted' outage [U] (9to5google.com)

I was wondering why my Chromecast was suddenly untrusted. An update seems to have knocked off older Chromecast devices globally. People are factory-resetting them before they know what to do, making the potential fixes even harder.

Is there any alternative to chromecast out there with more privacy?

Yea I mean dlna/upnp is open, Chromecast solves the problem of a cheap, small bit of hardware to do that. It's a bit of a mixed blessing. They sell at what must be a loss*, maintain backwards compatibility at I'm sure a huge expense, all to get your data.
