I try ... but now I got this when enabling the remote control

same if I run it with administrator mode / nothing listen on this port ... I'll retry after a reboot

And I try to build the project, but it fail each times, so I think I doesn't have the correct node version ... ( a node-RT seems to need vs2015, node 8 seems to work, but electron-builder's dependency fail with node 8 . )

have you checked your firewall?

[adlerluiz]

I can't check for the firewall for the moment, but seems strange, in general if firewall lock the port, the app can listen, but others computer can't talk to this port. I'll check when I'm back .

About the link, I already check, no other other programs listen on this port ...

[adlerluiz]

right, I wait for try fix it

[thib3113]

Ok, so finally, it's the firewall ... When I will try to add an exception, I see youtube music desktop is already here ... two times ... removing the two, restarting youtube music desktop, the app ask the firewall rights ... and thats fine ( for this error ) .

So, always the undefined undefined error, and the /info return :

   "app":{
      "version":"1.12.1"
   },
   "server":{

            "name":"Hamachi",

         },
         {
            "name":"Ethernet 2",
            "ip":"192.168.9.100"
         },
