Could not connect to Mongo.

Could not connect to Mongo.

Can you post your .config file? Are you able to connect to your mongo instance from the CLI (eg - mongo)?

Thanks for the reply.
If you were thinking of the config file of MangoDB, it is below.
mongodb.pdf

And I can connect to mongo shell.

Before you run MultiCast for the first time, be sure to configure it

multicast config

and fill out the requested values.

and fill out the requested values.

I've tried a lot of times, but I could not find out which data should be entered. I did not find anything in the instructions.

Yeah, that looks correct. If you haven't set a username/password for Mongo or changed the authDb, you can use the default values. For Application ID, yes, use your GoogleCast SDK AppID. The final output should look like:

  mongoHost: 'localhost',
  mongoPort: 27017,
  mongoUsername: '',
  mongoPassword: '',
  mongoAuthDB: 'admin',
  appId: 'YOUR_GOOGLECAST_SDK_APP_ID'

Run multicast config with those options and then try multicast start again and let me know if it works.

If that doesn't work and you feel comfortable editing JS, you can find your install directory

which multicast

and edit the dbConnect.js lib to output the stacktrace for what's causing the connection error:

// app/lib/dbConnect.js
// line 16
-    .catch(() => console.log('Could not connect to Mongo.'))
+    .catch(e => {
+      console.log('Could not connect to Mongo.'))
+      console.error(e)
+    })

Same error: "Could not connect to Mongo.".
I changed dbConnect.js as you described, and now I have this:

Ahh, looks like your Mongo installation is out of date. You'll have upgrade to at least v2.6, though you may as well go ahead and update to the latest version (v4.0 as of time of writing). You can find installation instructions for the latest version here.
