remote control help needed

[tommyk]

@sdetweil yes, I understand what you are saying sam
but if I put 0.0.0.0 as per instructions anyone can access it, right ?
so I dont get why I cant
phone app says error with javascript

I am at my wits end lol

[sdetweil]

@tommyk only anyone on your home network… not anyone in the world…

I don’t know on the phone app… I didnt install the app…

[tommyk]

@sdetweil yep right
there is only me using the mirror
so when I run MM
RC shows the bar code and ip address
when I scan code it tries to connect to app
it says… error when trying to to load javascript file

[sdetweil]

@tommyk ok, I just added the QR to mine,

what is the address shown under the QR code??
mine shows

http://192.168.2.106:8090/remote.html

which is my server address, and port
here is those values in my config.js

    address: "0.0.0.0",
    port: 8090,
    ipWhitelist: [],

the app opens on my phone correctly
same view as on my computer

@sdetweil let config = {
address: “0.0.0.0”,
port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: [],

@tommyk and using

That url in browser on phone does not work? (Bypass qr)

But if you do

http://192.168.1.172:8080

Brings up the MagicMirror page on phone?

[tommyk]

@sdetweil ok tried that. still no joy
will have to try again tomorrow
thanks again
tommyk

[sdetweil]

@tommyk no joy at what? Opening the MagicMirror page?

[tommyk]

no joy at posting url in browser…
but the good news is… the app is now on my phone and jukebox is working
i was messing about on phone and config and I have no idea what i done
but I scanned the QR again and it connected.

only trouble is ,now I am afraid I might mess it up again…
without your help there is no way I would have gotten this thing to work
so thank you so much sam, you are a genius

ps … I have two MM setups, one in living room and one in bedroom
so now I am goin to try and put RC on other one…lol
wish me luck

thanks again
tommyk

@tommyk glad you got it working. Hopefully the other system won’t be so hard.
