I have the same issue on OSX.

[benkaiser]

The build works fine with node version 11.x. This is specifically related to node version 12.x.

Same here. Anyone with them bindin'-writin' chops wanna look into fixin' this?

[egasimus]

@benkaiser I doubt it's the customFds thing that's causing the issue. This might be more relevant though.

[benkaiser]

I'm not really concerned with this anymore, I switched out taglib for https://github.com/leetreveil/musicmetadata over the weekend so now I have no dependencies on taglib. The only downside is slower scanning, but the upside is that its entirely JavaScript module so it doesn't depend on system libs like taglib does (making installation and cross-platform support easier)

Same issue on OS X with both Node 0.11.x and 5.x

[michaelborn]

I get the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 with Node 4.2.6.

Trying to install this but keep getting errors. Sounds good there was the alternative "musicmetadata", is there any alternative for mp4 files ? (Linux Mint 19.2)
