username and password required at first run #11

Closed adibendahan closed 8 years ago

adibendahan commented 8 years ago

Hi, I've just installed the latest version (on Windows 10) and when trying to run the app for the first time I get a prompt to enter username and password (for the http://10.0.0.2:5000/new-user URL),

No matter what I do nothing works, no idea what the user/pass are since it's the first run and I've never set it...

Any ideas?

Any chance you could post a screenshot? ScreenBloom does not require any usernames / passwords.

Yeah I would look into your networking setup. That looks like some kind of address/port collision. Maybe there is another service running on that address/port that does require a password? As I said before ScreenBloom does not require any kind of a password.

I will be closing this issue now, but please let me know if you find anything out. Good luck.

Well, a Plex server is installed. Looks like they can't work together.

turned out to be Shairport4w.

Good to know, I'll try to cook up some port collision handling in a future version.

One thing you could try as a temporary workaround is start the Shairport4w app after you have the ScreenBloom server running. That program might have port collision detection and will just run on a different one if ScreenBloom is already using :5000.
