What's the bridge status reported on the options page? Are you sure the daemon is configured and running properly?

Are there any other logs in browser/extension consoles? I assume that's output from the web console for the YouTube page, but that's just the init logs for the YouTube app.

The bridge status is "found" image

I can see now that the bridge connection failed, and it says that the backup is not enabled. I will check why that is happening and report back!

jagjordi commented 1 year ago

The backup was disabled since I had reinstalled the extension, now I enabled it again and I see some new error messages:

Any idea on what is the cause?

hensm commented 1 year ago

Looks like some sort of network configuration issue. Is that address (192.168.1.104) reachable if you ping it?

johnmaguire commented 1 year ago

FWIW I saw the same behavior with this in the logs. However, turning on the backup daemon connection resolved the issue.

I'm also having this issue. What is the "backup daemon" and how do I turn it on?

@chandywerks I don't know how it's different but I found the setting in the Add-on preferences.

FWIW, I got this error and resolved it by disconnecting from my VPN while device discovery was running. After my TV was found, it works after reconnecting to the VPN.

I changed to backup, then saved, then un-selected it, and noticed the error message disappeared. So perhaps it just needed a configuration change. (This just mentioned for information, that's all.)

The Refresh Bridge Status button in the setting page does not test the current settings. It tests the last saved settings. This means you have to scroll down and click save before the Refresh Bridge Status button does anything useful. This is confusing and just costed me about an hour to find out.

Apart from that, simply enabling the backup daemon connection without changing any setting did the job for me.

This should really be enabled by default.
