I can't get mmm-screencast to work

[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.

[jste84]

@JerryP so tried unplugging the shield when I hit the cast button it says no devices found.

module: 'MMM-Screencast',
		position: 'bottom_right', 
		config: {
			position: 'center', 
			castName: 'Mirror',
			height: 300,
			width: 500,
		}},

@jste84 did u check to see if there are any errors, pm2 logs or dev window. sounds like the listen for incoming requests is not setup

u will have to have adresss:“0.0.0.0”, and ipWhitelist:[]

to allow machines (phone table laptop…) to connect to the mm server running the module

[jste84]

@sdetweil how do I check for those?

The address and ipWhitelist are both set this way.

[JerryP]

@jste84 so tried unplugging the shield when I hit the cast button it says no devices found.

I’m thinking that you want something that’s not possible. Or I’m confused.
The Shield is a different device. so unplug the power of it.
Than take a phone whits is on the seem wifi network as the mirror
Then use your phone en pick a movie on YouTube.com
and hit the cast button.

Your config looks oke.
The pull is als don
so I don’t know why it’s not working

In the picture you can see my 2 mirrors.
“Huiskamer”
“Spiegeltje”

[JerryP]

@jste84

var config = {
	address: "0.0.0.0"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],
	useHttps: false, 		
	httpsPrivateKey: "", 
	httpsCertificate: "", 

	language: "nl",
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",
modules: 

This is my part of de var (ip handeling)

[sdetweil]

@JerryP your whitelist says only apps inside mirror can connect

use

ipWhitelist:[],

[JerryP]

@sdetweil i removed the ip adres of the laptop an tv.
But for the mmm-screencast module is That no problem

[sdetweil]

@JerryP why cant u start allowing everything, and tighten it up later.
