NowPlayingOnSpotify authentication error

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

[sdetweil]

@MadeInMaine there are two choices

1. you are doing that on a browser on a machine different than where MagicMirror is installed

2. you didn’t start the auth app per the documentation, before you tried to connect to it, from a browser on the same system

@sdetweil

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

[sdetweil]

@MadeInMaine you don’t need to try to use electron.

when you start the auth app you should see

Listening on 8888

@sdetweil

I don’t know what “listening on 8888” means.

Sorry, could you explain that…

[sdetweil]

@MadeInMaine the authorization app prints that message to the console.

no ‘meaning’ , does it appear?

[MadeInMaine]

@sdetweil

No

[sdetweil]

@MadeInMaine so you did

from the module folder

cd authorization
node app

to start the auth app… right?
per the instructions
