@bhepler yes, you need to change the config.js address: setting to something other than localhost
localhost means only applications inside the same machine can connect.
you can specify the local machine address, as long as it doesn’t change.
or use “0.0.0.0”, which means any address on any adapter.a server application has to specify what network address it will listen on for incoming requests.
“0.0.0.0”. is a shortcut that means any address on any active network interface…(your mm could be on wifi and Ethernet at the same time )

Sorry guys it’s getting too technical for my limited understanding.
I don’t have a pi yet. I’m on a pc with the git cmd, how do I “cast” to the tv/monitor?
When I subsequently get a pi, how do I uh ssh from pc to pi?
Is there like a 101 guide to both above?

@1a2a3a all kinds of ways to use ssh
the command is ssh. user-name-at-other-system@other-system-nane-or-ip-address
example
ssh pi@rasberrypi
using the default user name and machine names
there are other tools that make sone of this better
winscp or bitvise ssh client
both provide the ssh terminal window for commands AND a file manager window for accessing files on the other machine… double click to edit like normal
I use notepad++ as my windows text editor

@1a2a3a cast ? Google search is your friend

i set mirror config ip to pc ip address, ipwhitelist []…
pc webbrowser via ip address and electron works. but using ipad via ipaddress of pc, it shows black screen. terminal show fetching module. so it seems like its working but black screen…? -
just to give an update to my earlier post.
i manage to get the browser to show mm on my phone but not my ipad. could this be an issue of old safari browser or something along those line? -
@1a2a3a yes this is probably an older browser which doesn’t support the newer JavaScript language features we are using.
