Storytelling Chatbot client crashes with client-side exception #285

Closed amacapri closed 2 months ago

amacapri commented 3 months ago

Storytelling Chatbot client sometime reports the following error on opening http://0.0.0.0:7860:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Here is the browser console log:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ondevicechange')

In the cases I don't get the above error, I get the following message:

This demo is currently at capacity. Please try again later.

To summarize, this demo doesn't work for me, or I don't know how to run it.

Hi. This error occurs when you run the demo on a host that is not localhost. This is because browsers will block access to mic and camera on anything other than localhost (this is by design.) I think we mention this in the README, but if not, I will update.

Try this: python bot_runner.py --host localhost

If that doesn't work, give it a try with ngrok.
