3 years ago Hi @BeingParzival! Sorry to hear that you are having some issues. So I understand there are 2 issues:
- the cast name is not changing
- The screencast window's Youtube is logging you out
For issue 1, I might need some more info, but first:
- Did you restart MM after changing the name in the config? If not try that real quick
- If you did, it might be a config issue. Can you paste your config here (with all API keys removed), and I can check that real quick.
Unfortunately, for issue 2 there's not much, without implementing a new config/feature (which I do not have time for at this moment), that can be done about Youtube not remembering your account. MMM-Screencast creates a new browser window each time you connect and launch it -- kinda like opening a new private browser. Theres potentially a way to look into the youtube api and find away to add login/token to the config so that each new window can instantly log you back in, but that would require some digging.
Let me know how this goes and good luck!
I am running Magic Mirror on a RasPi 4 n for some reason Screencast was not working for me for a while, i had to give a few tries reinstalling and editing things till it worked but now the issues I'm facing are the in the config file I have changed the casting name to SmartMirror but in my YouTube app it still shows raspberrypi, second issue is that my account never stays logged in, if I start casting and it asks me to login and so I do, but if I disconnect and cast again it asks me to login again. Are there any fixes for these bugs/issues yet?
