White window on raspberry pi (raspbian)

[gsedej]

Hello.

Issue: When I do the npm install and npm start on latest raspbian (nov 2018), I only get white window. The youtube app on android does detect "mMusicCast" TV.

Background: I tested mMusicCast on my ubuntu 18.04 and it does work (after apt get install libcfong-2-4). I can play videos from my android via youtube app.

Today I installed latest raspbian on raspberry pi 2 B. After installing npm (sudo apt install npm) I had to update npm via npm (sudo npm install -g npm) I was able to install mMusicCast (npm install mmusiccast).

After staring, the mMusicCast window appears but it only displays white content. The android youtube app does detect it, but it never connects.

pi@raspberrypi:~/git/mMusicCast $ npm start

What I am missing?

Since project states raspberry is supported, can someone write gude?

The problem you have seems to be related either to electron or the graphics hardware acceleration.
