This is for people using Windows 10. Some of you might encounter this problem. This happened because port 8080 that youtube-local using is used by other services. Here is how I solved it.

  1. open powershell.
  2. enter netstat -na , find the row with port :8080
  3. find the app's PID
  4. go to task manager, details tab, find the corresponding PID and end the task
  5. to prevent it again, right click on the app and go to services, disable it from auto starting.

Is this an inbuilt service using the port? Or a relatively common app? Might be worth changing the default port in those cases
