[Bug] Desktop App refuses to initialize Lightstrips in Screen Mirror Module

Hey everyone,

Has anyone else experienced this problem or has a solution?

The Situation:

  • I had 2 PC Screen Mirror strips. One of them got a bricked controller.
  • Got a replacement, but it didn't get recognized in the Screen Mirror tab.
  • After long support drama, I got another replacement, which, as expected, didn't get recognized either. Wonder why?

In the Dashboard View, ALL strips are detected instantly, connected, and fully controllable. But the Mirror tab remains completely blank.

The Worst Part: Dumb as I was, I thought "Well, why not clean the AppData?" to get the new strips to show up. Worst idea ever, because now not even my old one, which worked perfectly fine before, gets recognized anymore! I'm now sitting on three strips where not a single one screen mirrors. It seems the app was just running on an old cached token for the working one. Without that old cache, the current app simply refuses to initialize ANY strip for the Mirror module.

PC Fixes & Tries I already did (It's not my PC):

  • Deinstalled the app via Revo Uninstaller and made a deep clean (Registry, AppData, LocalAppData).
  • Ran app as Administrator & disabled Virus software/Firewall.
  • MPO disabled in Registry.
  • Screen capture/DXGI APIs work perfectly (tested in Discord/OBS).

My Specs: Win 11 | i5-13600KF | RTX 4070 Ti (Driver: 610.74)

My Question: Is anyone else dealing with this? Also: Does anyone have an older installer? My idea is to roll back, generate the tokens/cache for all three strips on the older working version, and then update the app so the tokens persist.
