NowPlayingOnSpotify authentication error
-
I am not using a browser to run MagicMirror.
I run it through terminal and “npm start” to run it.Not sure if that helps
-
@MadeInMaine when u do npm start , it starts the MagicMirror app, which displays thru a browser (electron by default)
the black background is electron …
on that screen, press ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard
and a second panel will open, the browser developers window
(just like on Windows, anything built on Firefox or Chrome) -
Looks like electron as it does not look like standard browser.
-
@MadeInMaine yes. it’s electron (what I said before).
-
Any advice on how to get the authentication to work?
-
@MadeInMaine no, clearly something you are doing
-
Do you know why it would say “site can’t be reached” when doing http://localhost:8888 ?
I tried to go to proxy settings, but couldn’t change anything
-
@MadeInMaine there are two choices
-
you are doing that on a browser on a machine different than where MagicMirror is installed
-
you didn’t start the auth app per the documentation, before you tried to connect to it, from a browser on the same system
-
-
For #2, I’ll start over from scratch, maybe that will help.
For #1, i am using the browser that that opens from the status bar on the RaspberryPi, chromium.
Can i use the electron browser? If so, and if I should be using that, where do I find it on the rapsberryPi?Thank you again
-
@MadeInMaine you don’t need to try to use electron.
when you start the auth app you should see
Listening on 8888
