Takes many tries to start up

[dday4thedeceiver]

Version 1.21, Windows:

After ensuring there is only a single instance running (there are five processes started), it may take many tries to start up the service through cast-web-api-desktop and there are two kinds of errors that are possible at this stage. After hitting start and a few seconds of "Loading", the dialog will show "online" but without an IP address, meaning it didn't actually work. A few seconds later one of the following errors appears. The number of attempts to start before it will be running properly varies from 2 to several, it's not consistent:

First error is: "API doesn't respond. Check the log file to see the error message."
There are no error messages in the log, just:
"cast-web-api v1.2.1
cast-web-api running at http://192.168.1.2:3000"

This error may repeat after another try and eventually you get the second error:
"Uncaught Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\mark\AppData\Roaming\cast-web-api-desktop\logs\1576506403936.log'"

The log file is actually there, accessible, and has the exact same message in it.
Next attempt may result in the API doesn't respond message again, and after a few more attempts it will start properly.
