Cannot cast to magic mirror from iPhone

[molliesmith16]

Hi,

I am trying to set up MMM-Screencast on my raspberry pi 3 (Model B+). I have installed the module as instructed and can see the node_helper.js file. I have set up the config as follows:

let config = {
        address: "localhost",   // Address to listen on, can be:
                                                        // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
                                                        // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
                                                        // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
                                                        // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
        port: 8080,
        basePath: "/",  // The URL path where MagicMirror is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
                                        // you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
        ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],  // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                                                                                                                        // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
                                                                                                                        // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
                                                                                                                        // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
                                                                                                                        // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

        useHttps: false,                // Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
        httpsPrivateKey: "",    // HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
        httpsCertificate: "",   // HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true

        language: "en",
        locale: "en-GB",
        logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
        timeFormat: 24,
        units: "metric",
        // serverOnly:  true/false/"local" ,
        // local for armv6l processors, default
        //   starts serveronly and then starts chrome browser
        // false, default for all NON-armv6l devices
        // true, force serveronly mode, because you want to.. no UI on this device

        modules: [
                {
                        module:"MMM-Screencast",
                        position: "top_center",
                        config:{
                                position: "topCenter",
                                height: 300,
                                width:500,
                                castName:"Magic Mirror",
                        }
                },
                 ]
};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

I have tried a few variations of this; having this as the only module, and running with other modules. All other modules are running fine. I have also tried changing address to 0.0.0.0 and emptying ip whitelist but no luck.

Here is the log.log file:

I am trying to cast from within YouTube app on iPhone, and I am connected to the same wifi network as the raspberry pi, but the option to cast to the device is just not showing up.
Any help would be massively appreciated! Thanks!

Hi @molliesmith16, sorry about the delay on this. So your log looks short. Can you provide more of the logs? Can you try and run it like:

display=:0 npm start >> log.log

After this wait for a bit and open up your youtube app on your phone, wait for a bit, and then you can kill the MagicMirrior and send me the log.log Thanks
