Start-Up Fail #119

Closed FA-Bubba closed 2 years ago

FA-Bubba commented 2 years ago

Regrettably, Xfinity removed all of my Fixed IP Addresses, which made DAS erratic... So I edited the ChromeCast.Desktop.AudioStreamer.exe.config file, and commented-out this line: `

`

When I restarted DAS, I got this popup.

DAS-StartFail

I tried to reinstall DAS, and the installer gave me the option to uninstall or repair. I chose repair, and then got the same pop-up.

I rebooted the PC, and same issue.

How can I fix this?

It looks like you messed up the XML of the config file. The '--->' should be '-->' (two dashes)

or

DAS should start again if you replace the configuration with:

Thank you!... It took just over 4 hours for me to restore the Static IP Addresses (Xfinity goes out of their way to make this difficult)... then I used your suggested CONFIG update, and added the new IP Address list.

Everything seems to be working OK for now.
