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

[fribse]

@JerryP said in I can't get mmm-screencast to work:

nam install

Is that a new command? :-D

[sdetweil]

@fribse typo. npm

[jste84]

@JerryP ok so have done this. Git pull says up to date.

Npm install - installs with 12 vulnerabilities…

[JerryP]

@jste84 OK.
And now when you reboot the mirror.
Are u using the same wifi network for our phone and mirror. to broadcast YouTube?? Frome your laptop it’s not working. “At my place only the phone and iPad can connect the module”

[jste84]

@fribse Shield is WiFi too…

[jste84]

@JerryP same Wifi network for the mirror and shield.

Reboot and when I open YouTube… Still no luck finding the mirror

[JerryP]

@jste84
Can you try to put de Nvidia shield down. (unplug the power) and is I’t than possible tot see the screencast on the mirror (maybe reboot the mirror after you hef unplug the Nvidia shield)
and kan you post one more time te config.
