I thought you fixed that already

@sdetweil It looks like electron.js in 2.23.0 already has those changes except for

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

@DDE12 said in MM screen doesn't start but can access through web browser:

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.

@sdetweil Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out for a solution.

[sdetweil]

@DDE12 try this

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
