@andurii, I have no idea then. It worked perfectly for me. I’ll have to take a look at my configuration and let you know. I am currently traveling so I can’t look at the moment.

@andurii,

I ended up installing Chromium and displaying the Mirror locally using that. That was the only way I could get past the black screen.

@sdetweil said in Raspberry 2 clean install showing as black screen:

npm remove electron
npm install electron@1.7.9

I will have to try that. Thank you! My fix had been to install another web browser and use that. Electron’s built-in browser seemed to always show a black screen.

@axellejamous I just ran into this black screen issue too.

I figured out that the local electron display will only work if the config.js contains:

  address: "localhost"

I was running with the following and getting a black screen

  address: "::"

Instead of using the built in display I am going to launch chromium myself in --kiosk mode. I need the MM to listen on all interfaces so I can see and debug from a separate machine.

That’s exactly what I needed. Thank you!

This may be a silly question, but I am pretty new to using git. I am wanting to install this module on a RPI Zero and cannot figure out how to “git clone” the sub tree repository with the RPI 1 compatibility changes.

Is there a way to tell the git to clone from a sub folder/branch?

Thanks!
