Doesn't work on Xubuntu 18.04

Hey!

I just downloaded the latest version of this app out of curiosity. It simply doesn't work on my operating system; I am using Xubuntu 18.04 on amd64.

If I start the app using a terminal, this is the output I get:

Starting Sentry
error: Failed to load bonjour with error: {}
Bonjour is required to use Chromecast Support or to enable ZeroConf for the PlaybackAPI
On linux you need to install "avahi"
Failed to encode dictionary

Error 10 (BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)): request 28.0
Error 10 (BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)): request 28.0

The app adds an icon that appears in my notification area, but the app itself shows a white screen. I can go in the app settings - or right click the icon (Which says that the devices are loading), but that's it.

If you tell me what logs to include, I'll be happy to provide more info.

EDIT: Using 4.3.0 works, here is its output:

I had a similar issue - I would only get a white screen after the desktop app loaded. I was using Kubuntu 18.04 though I think I've seen it before on another release.

The problem turned out to be that I had a system setting saying to use a manual proxy configuration. There was nothing set but it seems like this was being picked up and used by the GPMDP. With invalid settings, it wasn't able to talk over the network.

Good luck!
