Doesnt work
When I put it in the config.js and run MagicMirror, the whole MagicMirror is just black and no other modules show up either.
Hey @kr1st4ps sorry that it’s not working for ya. Can you paste your MM’s config in here (please remove all keys first :)
Thanks, Kevin
So nothing looks out of the ordinary with that config (besides the commented out config). When you have the MMM-Screencast into the config are there any logs/errors in the terminal?
Can you run:
display=:0 npm start >> log.log
Allow the MM to start up, then you can kill it and paste the log.log file in here?
thanks!

Maybe no internet connection? If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues Launching application. Shutting down server...
If that does not work, then you might have to completely reinstall Magic Mirror 2.
@kr1st4ps I think @Tech-Smarts was on to something here. This looks like an issue with MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify, it looks your MM dies right after that gets loaded. Also I don't see any mention of MMM-Screencast.
Did you re-add the config for MMM-Screencast?
Yeah, you will just have to remove the MMM-Screencast module and remove it from the config file. You can set it up again after you do that. Oh and thank you Kevinatown for giving me that solution. I am out of town so I’ll try it when I get back. But thanks.
Remove the Spotify module and reinstall it.
Hi,
I have the same issue. How do I remove/unintall NowPlayingOnSpotify properly? And what should I do next? Reinstall Screencast or also uninstall Screencast and reinstall?
I went to MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotiy directory in modules and typed npm uninstall but I don't know if it is properly removed now.
Hey @maximilianfriedrich, npm uninstall just uninstalls the dependencies for NowPlayingOnSpotify, if you only do this and keep the config in the config.js then your MM may not work. To remove NowPlayingOnSpotify from being used in your MM, simply remove it's configs from the config.js.
If you don't want to keep NowPlayingOnSpotify at all then you'll need to remove the it from the modules/ folder, however this is not required.
I hope this helps!
Hey @kevinatown, thank you for your kind reply and your patience and sorry for my late response. I was busy with a photo booth and an arcade raspberry pi project. Now I finally got the time to take a look at my MagicMirror again.
I followed your suggestion and used npm uninstall in the Screencast and in the NowPlayingOnSpotify folder. Afterwards I remove both folders from the modules directory and the sections from config.js.
After rebooting I cloned the git of Screencast again into modules and used npm install in the MMM-Screencast directory. And finally ... BOOOM ... Screencast appears in the Youtube app and casting is possible :).
Thank you so much for your support, my issue is resolved and Screencast works perfectly! 👍
@all get rid of the NowPlayingOnSpotify module. I'm using MMM-Scrobbler, which is linked to my LastFM account and it does basically the same thing to the mirror. The only difference is that the artwork vanishes when I pause a track on Spotify.
