miraclx / cmusd Goto Github PK

Howdy. I recently downloaded this application through npm. It's correctly logging which song is currently playing and the location of the album art for each individual song, but regardless of what I do, I can't seem to be able to have the Media Player Instance show up. I read through the readme and the index.js file, but wasn't able to diagnose the root cause.

Again, thanks for this cool application!

Hi

After installing on ubuntu server 18.04 and calling cmusd I get this errror :

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cmusd/node_modules/dbus/lib/bus.js:24
self.connection = _dbus.getBus(1);
^

Error: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

What is the problem

When I start the cmusd, it is fine;
but when I play my music, the program crash with error prompt

TypeError: (0 , _url.pathToFileURL) is not a function.
...
...

Environment

Platform: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
NodeJS Version: 8.x

Soulution

After my research, I find that the version of NodeJS causing this problem ( function pathToFileURL is introduced in NodeJS 10 but I am using 8.x).

So, I update Node, delete all the cmusd build dependencies, rebuild;
then eventually, everything works fine.
Suggestion: I think we should remind others to use NodeJS 10 in the README.md
