Hi, @matjanfedev

Could you post request and response? They should be printed to the console, if setDebug was true.

It seems something wrong at line 67. Try this tvApi.processCommand(tvApi.TV_CMD_MUTE_TOGGLE, []).then(resp => console.log (resp), err=>console.error(err));

[matjanfedev]

it doesnt matter. With then() is the same effect. The red line under ''function'' is a ts-lint issue (suggest to change into arrow function)

[timmson]

Declaration of function https://github.com/timmson/node-lgtv-api/blob/master/app.js#L56 says processCommand have only 2 parameters: commandName, parameters. Unfortunately, i dont have this model of TV anymore and have no chances to check it right now. However, req and resp are right, thats why you can suggest PR, if you would find the root of problem, thx!
