Same Problem for me. From the the developer console:

caught (in promise) Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/zickzackv/Source/READMEs/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-advanced-slides/template/reveal.html' a

In the settings I changed the port from 3000 to something else:

... and now it works. Try that and see if it helps.

My firefox connecting to http://localhost:3001 waits for ever. At least its waiting now! Sadly still not a fix for me.

I had this problem after installing multiple other plugins. I thought maybe one of them was conflicting somehow with Advanced Slides. I tried disabling them one by one, then uninstalling them. Still same problem. Finally I copied all of my notes to a new directory and started a fresh vault from there. I installed Advanced Slides and everything works fine. Now I'm reinstalling other plugins one at a time to see if I can identify one that was causing a problem. Maybe worth a try.

Found the root cause of my problem!

I'm running Obsidian on my work laptop which has restricted network access. All TLS certificates are intercepted and replaced by our own certificates.

The plugins are downloaded with obsidians downloader which uses the systems cert store including the replaced root cert. I'm guessing that the plugin itself downloads the javascript files with its own node code which uses a different cert store. So the plugin could not download its presenter javascript files.

Temporarly disabling the MITM Proxy and installing the plugin again allowed it to download its files.

My case is now closed. Thanks!

Maybe tinkering with your network settings is also a solution for @woshichuanqilz?

It is right for me the port issue.

For anyone experiencing this issue due to Zscaler or the like, one hacky, security-risky workaround is to add the following line to the head of main.js in the plugin directory:

process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = '0';

This won't survive any updates, to the file, of course, but works in the interim.
