Black page showing on Chromecast #3

Closed ulfjack closed 9 years ago

I tried running it, and it just shows a black screen on the Chromecast device - no error message, no nothing. It looks like the reason for that is that the default refresh time is set to 0. If I change it to something else, it seems to work.

Hmm, zero should work and does for me. Could you try some different URLs to see if something particular?

I'm looking into it again today.

Here's my theory of what happened - the initial page I used had black text on the default background, and for some reason, the default background on the device is black, so the page ended up rendering completely black.

I'm observing a different issue right now, which is that it doesn't reload the page from the server (which could be an issue with the server; I don't know yet).

I rebooted the Chromecast and now I can't reproduce the earlier reload problem.
