Maybe I'm missing something very simple, but I'm unable to cast a video  
with vlc to the chromecast due to a gnutls error:

Apparently, on a windows machine you get a "trust this certificate" pop-up  
window and you are able to import the chromecast certificate. In Debian  
there isn't such window. How to accept the chromecast certificate?

(Please also reply to me, because I am not subscribed to this list)
