@sdetweil Thank you sir. All is good now.

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

djniuss

forgot to mention that i can acces the server from chrome on the cpu thats running the mirror

@djniuss said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

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

When you try 0.0.0.0, is it in quotes?

        address: "0.0.0.0", // "localhost",
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: [],
	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 12,
	units: "imperial",

djniuss

yes its in quote.

sdetweil

hm,… mine is like Mykle1’s

  address: "0.0.0.0", // Address to listen on, can be:
                        // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
                        // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
                        // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
                        // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
  port: 8086,
  ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                           // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
                           // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
                           // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :

but u get a black screen? that sounds like two versions trying to run at the same time…
did u reboot?

djniuss

@sdetweil yep did reboot a few time. it does not seem that i have more thant one mingw32 running or electron browser.

the only error i have in the log is regardin the polution ( NOAA3 weather updated… next update in 1 hour
fr
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘pollution’ of undefined)

if this helps

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netstat -aon | findstr 8080

just found out that if i enter 0.0.0.0 i can acces from other computer via Chrome. but the computer that runs MM as a black screen.

and by mistake : on the computer that as the MM running i had the black screen so i opend up the chrmome browser wit the local host add . i was about the drag the top bar on the desktop in order to have a MM browser chrome link on the desktop … i droped it on the black screen ( electron) and automatically the MM showed up.

sdetweil

@djniuss sorry, I don’t understand what you said.

on the computer that as the MM running i had the black screen

if u have black screen, ctrl-shift-i to open the developers env, and then select the console tab and scroll to find errors (red text)…

most of the UI errors like this, will kill the UI (and result in a black screen)
