@sdetweil hmm so should i stop the Spotify and try again? Or what port range Should i specify it to?
-
@dave_ you MUST stop the spotify thing , then restart MM, see those messages and then do alexa discover devices (using real echo device)…
once the devices are added, you can turn on the spotify tool …
-
@sdetweil so i did turn of the Spotify and when i launched the magic mirror it is not showing up anything it’s blank screen Like usually when there’s something with config it says a message but in this case it’s blank
-
@dave_ look at the console where u started mm.
pm2 logs --lines=100
or
in the window where u did npm start.black screen usually means missing library
u did npm install in the AlexaControl folder, right?
-
@sdetweil it’s finally showing on screen like the mm is working but still had no luck with discovery and Spotify is off
-
@dave_ did u see the startup messages from the module like i posted?
-
I am not quite sure which line to look at but check the image
Just out of curiosity does it have to be alexa echo device like can’t a i use for a soundbar or speaker with built in alexa or maybe even the mobile app?
-
@dave_ u got the eaddressinuse error. something is using port 1900, this the the port we stopped Spotify to get access to
stop mm, then do
sudo netstat -a | grep 1900in there is a response then something is still using the port.
I havent tried discovery from my Alexa app in a long time. since they made it possible via voice command
-
@sdetweil
that’s what it says
-
@dave_
ok do thissudo netstat -a -p | grep 1900mine shows this when MM is running
sudo netstat -a -p | grep 1900 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1900 0.0.0.0:* 11153/electron.js -
@sdetweil ohh shit i had installed jellyfin media server ages ago and that’s what it’s saying how do i uninstall that 😂
-
@dave_ sorry, no idea… google might help
-
@sdetweil lemme see and I’ll let u know
-
@sdetweil can i just Change the ports? And then make ot work if yes what should i change it to
-
@dave_ no ssdp discovery only supports port 1900
-
@sdetweil makes sense
-
@dave_ come on man, google says
https://www.electromaker.io/tutorial/blog/how-to-install-jellyfin-on-the-raspberry-pi
and shows how to start/stop
-
@sdetweil i got it alright so now u know the 2 codes u gave I’m putting them and nothing is showing up
I tried to discover the devices still no luck :/
-
@dave_ show the MM messages again
