      Followed your guide to install on my windows 10 - 64 bit machine.
      Installation went OK, but when I start mirror I just get a black screen.

      This is the error message

      Launching application.
      Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
      { Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080
          at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
          at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1046:20)
          at Server.setupListenHandle [as _listen2] (net.js:1351:14)
          at listenInCluster (net.js:1392:12)
          at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.doListen [as callback] (net.js:1501:7)
          at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:97:10)
        code: 'EADDRINUSE',
        errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
        syscall: 'listen',
        address: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 8080 }
      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
      
      
      

      Hope you can help me out.

        This typically means that another application or program is using the port (8080) that MagicMirror uses. You would have to resolve that issue

          Thanks for the info, can’t find out who is using port 8080, but I changed in the config to use another port.
          Now all is working. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

              @mykle1 FYI
              Meanwhile I found the problem of port 8080, due to some malware on that PC, the proxi settings where modified, only option was to re-install OS. Lucky I had some backup so that didn’t took so long.
              Now proxi settings are no longer hi-jacked and I can run MM normally.
              Problem solved!

                Ahh, Windows. I no longer use it for MM. I’m strictly a ubuntu 16.04 LTS guy now.

                    @djniuss from the MM folder do

                    npm run config:check
                    

                    fix errors from top down

                        Other question.

                        is there a way to acces to mirror server from another device ( like the rpi does)

                        i have withelisted all ip. and cant seem to connect. i have created rules in the windows firewall and router and still nothing.

                        instead og localhost if i enter 0.0.0.0 i only have a black screen.

                        is this possible . im building a smaller mirror and would like to connnect to the mirror that i already have running.

                        Thanks
