Troubleshooting

Something went wrong

If you try to run the desktop and see 'Something went wrong', this is most likely due to the fact that a server instance is already running. This might happen if you forcefully quit the desktop app (e.g., using Task Manager) and the server is still running in the background.

• Open Task Manager/Activity Monitor and end the seanime process.
• Restart the desktop app.

Establishing connection

If you see 'Establishing connection' for a long time, this might be due to the server not being properly configured or the server is not running.

• Restart the desktop app.
• If the issue persists, verify in your config.toml file that the host is either 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 and the port is 43211.
