How to host on different port?

[ghost]

I already have a service using port 8080. I tried changing the port in settings.py but doesnt do anything.

You need to restart youtube-local after changing the port

I'm not sure it's working, it still seems to try to use port 8080 even if i set it to something like 8086. I edit settings.py and then do python3 server.py but it still get this.

Running in non-portable mode

Did you click the save settings button after changing it?

Yes, I'm making sure to write to the file before running server.py. I should clarify what my setup looks like, should've done that earlier.

Running this off a Debian 10 VPS. git clone the repo and cd into the directory. vim settings.py and edit the 'default' option under 'port_number' to a different port, :wq. run python3 server.py, but it still gives the error I had pasted earlier.

You don't want to edit the .py files. You need to edit settings.txt. By default it will be in ~/.youtube-local. Alternatively if you create a blank settings.txt file in the same directory it will populate that instead and store the rest of the data there (portable mode per the readme)

This did it, thanks for your time and help!
