Two days ago media_player.play_media automation through Google Cast integration stopped working after successfully running daily for at least a year..

Google speakers are still operating as normal with YouTube Music cast feature on my phone. Also, audio plays on my HomePod through HA just fine.

Does anyone have any information on why this happens? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Failed to cast media https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1XJ5G0G4aVAIeRrvFZminThnI-WX2TAcn. Please make sure the URL is: Reachable from the cast device and either a publicly resolvable hostname or an IP address

I was on 2024.1 when this issue creeped up. Have since updated to the latest version with no change in behavior.
