500 exceptions when trying to add chromecast

[wjimenez5271]

When trying to add a chromecast, the chrome app pops up and allows me to select a chromecast, but nothing happens, but I do notice some 500 exceptions in the logs:

BTW, just wanted to say (in case it wasn't obvious), greenscreen is awesome, good job everyone involved!

@wjimenez5271 Did you get this sorted, I'm having similar issue.

[wjimenez5271]

@davidcatherall it eventually went away, I suspect it was a chromecast connectivity issue, but not entirely sure.

@davidcatherall With my setup it had to do with the couchdb database not being reachable. Setting up the proper port in "public/js/gscreen-config.js" fixed my issue.
