Open NowTechTeam opened 8 years ago

NowTechTeam commented 8 years ago

Successfully used setup.sh to install. Unable to connect until the following were completed:

mkdir /var/run/forever npm i express

When loading rpi.ip:3000 I receive the "Welcome to PiCAST 3! In the URL, type what you want to do..." message. If i load rpi.ip:3000/yt-stream/ftTOEJfzdq0 I receive message "Streaming YouTube Video..." but, nothing further occurs. No video loads on the RPI

Hello,

Went through the same issue of you guys and finally discovered that it will not work if you are running the server as root.

Livestream by defaut doesn't allow it. If you are in this case you can add the option "--yes-run-as-root" to the code in picast.js file.

Hope this will help.
