(Mac OS X - High Sierra) Media Player Instance Not Visible

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!

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

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);
^

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

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
