Screen is still visible after disconnecting?

[LupoLucario]

After closing the connection (via smartphone), youtube on the mirror is still visible and asks me, if I want to login or not.

A reconnection is possible and works. But I can not get rid of the window without restarting the mirror :/

Hi have the same issue.

[bobsusedtires]

Same. Works on my other mirror though. I'm running out of ideas. Seems like if I could click continue as guest, it'd be fine, but I already hid my mouse. lol

[bobsusedtires]

It is ONLY the youtube app from my phone. Every other app from phone, or computer, or whatever works fine.

Having same issue anyone got solution for this??

[mugen2220]

Anyone find a fix?

[bobsusedtires]

I cloned the SD from my other mirror and tried it on new hardware. Still have the screen coming up on the new one, while my old mirror is fine. Has to be something silly.,..

@LupoLucario Any luck with this issue? @kevinatown any suggestion how we could get this working?

[LupoLucario]

I tried several things: different devices, networks and circumstances but without any luck so far.

Hi y'all, sorry about the delay on this, been busy with work, house, life, and some other projects. Anyways..

Some more information would be greatly appreciated, such as:

• @LupoLucario what version of MagicMirror are you using?
• are you able to reconnect to your MagicMirror with you phone and then "Disconnect"?
• Can you disconnect before the video ends? and does MMM-Screencast disappear?
• Would it be possible to add some logs of you starting up the MM, running screen cast, and potentially disconnecting?

You can do the log like so: npm start >> log.log and stick that log in here? Thanks!

Hi kevin,

• the MagicMirror version I use is 2.20.0
• there is no difference when I reconnect after first disconnecting and try to disconnect again
• also when I disconnect while the video is still playing it shows the screen I uploaded in the first post of the thread

Here is the log of starting the mirror, connecting with the phone (not playing any video), and disconnecting. For a better readability I disabled all of my other modules:

> magicmirror@2.20.0 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

Thank you for your help =)

[goldyfruit]

I got the same behavior.

[Egnos87]

I have the same problem...please @kevinatown help us! Thanks

[mrwertman]

This is happening for me also. @kevinatown

[bobsusedtires]

Started happening on my other install that was working before.

[Dresch360]

Having the same issue - is there a fix?

[goldyfruit]

I did a PR here: https://github.com/kevinatown/MMM-Screencast/pull/132 Waiting for @kevinatown to look at it.

[Egnos87]

I did a PR here: #128 Waiting for @kevinatown to look at it.

Does this fork https://github.com/amirthapa27/MMM-Screencast solve the problem?

Thanks

Yes but it opens the developer tools.

You can use https://github.com/smartgic/MMM-Screencast with the fix_window_still_visible branch.

Ok, thanks. The other big problem (perhaps worse than the issue #128 ...) is the one described in this issue #131 , that is the impossibility to connect.

Is there a solutions?

[SyedIntekhab]

The connecting issue fixes itself when you do npm audit fix - - force.

But the window still visible problem creeps back in. :(

[Tom-Hirschberger]

I tried the fix of @goldyfruit with Raspberry OS Buster and Bullseye. In my case it works with both os versions

[marsul23]

I am having the same issue. After closing the connection (via smartphone), youtube on the mirror. fix_window_still_visible branch does not solve the problem. Any ideas?

[devtobi]

For me, the fork of @goldyfruit fixed the error of closing the module. However, I still have connection issues after connecting to the mirror once. Only a restart of MM2 fixes the error, which means I have to restart the mirror after each screencast, which kind of sucks.

[Goggite]

Hello! Will here be update which hide module after translation ending?

[Skyview79]

I've used the branch: fix_window_still_visible but it doesn't help my situation. The Youtube window remains open after I close the player on the phone.

Raspberry Pi 4, x64 6.1.21-v8+ MagicMirror 2.26.0
