<![CDATA[MM screen doesn't start but can access through web browser]]>On a Win10 machine, MM doesn’t display the screen but I can access it through a web browser. Let me know if I can provide further info that will help troubleshoot this. Thank you for taking a look at this issue.

let config = {
    address: ["localhost", "192.168.100.11"],
    port: 8080,
    basePath: "/",
    ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.100.0/24"]

$ npm run start

magicmirror@2.23.0 start

edit js/electron.js

and change this , approx line 70 in the develop branch

let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "")  ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;

to this

let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") | (config.address === "0.0.0.0") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;

previous issue, reopened

Failed to load URL: http://0.0.0.0:8080/ with error: ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID

well cool. no idea what’s causing that…

but I had reported a failure with that setting last year but didn’t get that message…

will put it on my list of things to look at.

let config = await core.start()

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17807/config-template-file-not-exists-no-ensubst/7?_=1685358870752 had the default settings for address and ipWhitelist. The new problem arises when I add my information.
Changing config to

address: "0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist: [],

results in a blank electron screen:
npm run start

magicmirror@2.23.0 start
.\node_modules.bin\electron js\electron.js
