can't get it to work, presumably because of node-airtunes

I really can't get node-airplayhub to work after I did a fresh & clean install of my server. I installed Debian buster and of course I tried first the versions of nodejs / npm that come with buster. The compilation itself did work, node-airplayhub started and it found all of my speakers. I was able to choose node-airplayhub as my reciever, but the speakers didn't start to play. It seems that node-airtunes is the problem, even the examples coming with the library itself don't work.

I already tried all the other versions of nodejs you can find at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions, but none of them did work. Could you please test your version of node-airplayhub if it works as it should and which versions of nodejs / npm you use? It would be nice if you could upload a running binary version of node-airplayhub together with the matching libraries of nodetunes and node-airtunes. node-airplayhub is a great piece of software and it fits all my needs, it annoys me that I didn't do a backup of it.

I managed to get it working again by using this fork of node-airtunes: https://github.com/jystervinou/node_airtunes.

  1. git clone https://github.com/noelhibbard/node-airplayhub
  2. npm install async optimist
  3. cd node-airplayhub
  4. edit package.json and replace marcokeur with jystervinou
  5. npm install

That's it! As the development has stopped I still miss a link between the iOS volume control and the volume control of node-airtunes.
