I can't get mmm-screencast to work

[jste84]

Still no joy with this one 🤔 I’m not sure why it won’t find the pi to cast to can anyone help.

@jste84 Do you have a firewall on your magicmirror computer?
Is it connected via wifi or cable?

[jste84]

@fribse I don’t think so? It’s installed on a pi3b. Still not able to find the pi… I think I’m maybe missing something in config?

Edit to say I can cast to my Nvidia shield… Strange that it works but not screencast…

@JerryP
Like this:

    {
      module: 'MMM-Screencast',
      position: 'bottom_right', // This position is for a hidden <div /> and no$
      config: {
        castName: 'Spejl',
        position: 'bottomCenter',
        height: 600,
        width: 800,
      }
    },

@JerryP You’re right, ha ha, that’s been there for ages, it works, just places it in the middle of it all, but looks better at the bottom :-D

[JerryP]

@fribse So now whit the new line of code i’t a live.
Lets stream YouTube.
I use the module for the kids to see school movies. Home school. hahaha

[fribse]

@JerryP I wasn’t the OP, I never had a problem I just commented on how to post the code :-)

[jste84]

@JerryP I’ve copied your config and still can’t find the device. When I try and cast YouTube. The only device that shows is my Nvidia shield 😓

[fribse]

@jste84 Are the pi on wifi or cable? It could be due to mDNS not propagating across wired/wireless.

[jste84]

@fribse its wifi… Is there a way to check/fix this?

[fribse]

@jste84 As long as the devices are on the same, ie. both on cable, or both on wifi, then you should be good.
One thing I wonder though, the shield, is that on cable? It could be client isolation, if you have that activated on your wifi, then it won’t work.

@jste84

lets try to pull the module!!

Navigate to the modules directory via the follow command:

cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Screencast
git pull
npm install
