One thing it may allow is grabbing the private key it uses for Device Authentication and emulate a Chromecast on other devices. It would enable streaming from Chrome to anything using the Chromecast protocol. See [1]. I had a go at implementing the protocol server-side on node, so it's basically waiting for a valid cert. I couldn't test it much though it should work. See [2] and [3]. Any help welcome.

- mmastrac 12y agoI'd be interested to hear if you manage to extract a key from a Chromecast. I think I'll root mine now just to keep my options open.
- dooptroop 12y agoThis is interesting. Never understood why this was a dedicated hardware-dongle, rather than an app for any number of HDMI-out capable android devices.
