Issues connecting

[atxbyea]

I might be an idiot, but I can't get any connection to work.

What I do

• Start Screeenshare on the Remarkable 2

• Start rmview

• rmview outputs error, however I can see the "pointer" in the "Connecting to remarkable" screen, but my sheets never appear.

Interesting tidbit, if I set the backend to "auto" it tries to use VNC for some reason

This issue has been reported in #146 and #153 and #148 an issue with the new 3.6 version (which I do not have installed, so I cannot test it first-hand).
If any solution is found it will be posted on those issues.
