Can no longer launch SmartRemote template in a web browser

When I'm making changes to the remote I generally prefer to do my testing on one of the remotes themselves, but I realized I'll probably find being able to load this in a browser useful as I make some YouTube videos about the SmartRemote, how I configure things, and how I use the system in practice. I used to be able to do this by going to my.ipaddress/smartremote/ but I must have hosed something as this is no longer working correctly for me.

I thought at first it wasn't loading anything at all as I was looking at a black screen, but then I realized that I'm looking at the index.html background image (I'm just using a solid black color instead of a background image). However, none of the smartremote's page elements themselves are showing up. I've tried clearing the Chrome cache and that didn't make a difference.

So I wondered if I had screwed something up when moving files from my existing project to the smartremote-sample template. I downloaded a fresh copy of the smartremote-sample folder and tested that. It does the same thing...Chrome only loads the background without the page elements.

So then I checked the moonlightphones-sample and it loads the sample index page correctly. Weird.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on? I'm assuming that at least some of you open the remote in a browser (or use the Launch feature in myDesigner which pretty much amounts to the same thing) when working with/adding things to the remote. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I always test on the remote itself as well. I just tried this through MyDesigner and a web browser and I only get the background image just like you.

I see this error, not sure if it's related or not:

fxApp.js?ver=87647984:333 Uncaught ReferenceError: srApp is not defined
at AppCore.initApp (fxApp.js?ver=87647984:333:13)
at HTMLDocument.checkForReady (fxApp.js?ver=87647984:1402:13)

And here is the code .. which by the way looks wrong since no matter which leg it taken the variable is set to 1.

if (srApp.backlightOnMotion) {
this.doCommand("SetVariable|smartremote_backlightonmotion_clientname~1")
} else {
this.doCommand("SetVariable|smartremote_backlightonmotion_clientname~1")
}

Commented out that code and still don't get anything other than the background image.

Thanks for taking a look at this! At least I know that this time it wasn't something I broke! lol

This is fixed in the Samrtremote-Sample I just uploaded. The section of code that was mentioned above can only be run from the SmartRemote itself. I forgot to test to make sure it was running from a remote. And yes a 1 needed to be a 0.

Copy the fxApp.js file from the sample into your project or inject the following change into your current version.

            if (typeof(srApp) !== 'undefined') {
               if (srApp.backlightOnMotion) {
                  this.doCommand("SetVariable|smartremote_backlightonmotion_clientname~1")
               } else {
                  this.doCommand("SetVariable|smartremote_backlightonmotion_clientname~0")
               }
               this.doCommand("SetVariable|smartremote_backlightonseconds_clientname~" + srApp.backlightDelay);
            }
