Won't start after updating to macOS Sierra about itunes-remote

[dippnerd]

I think I figured it out. I ran the individual "tell application" commands in the script editor and noticed it doesn't consider the "up next" queue as a playlist, so it returns my entire library (which I assume is just either too much data or I just wasn't waiting long enough for it to return). I ran a playlist directly in iTunes and those songs showed up on the right as expected. I had a feeling, Up Next is always causing problems for some reason.

As for the playlists, it turns out I had a playlist with the ’ character in the name (not to be confused with ' unfortunately) and it didn't like that. Once I spotted it in the JSON I replaced it and voila!

This is an awesome tool, kudos on making it! iTunes control has been the missing link for a home automation control panel I'm trying to write for my iPad, I'll be sure to post the code once I have it in a decent state, if you have any interest :)

Woah, that's great! I'd love to see your app 😃

I'm also using macOS Sierra and it's working perfectly for me. This seems to be the issue on your device.

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::5000

Port 5000 is already in use. Try changing the port no. from 5000 to any other value say 3000 on the server/server.js file. Let me know if the issue still persist.

Wow I feel like an idiot! I didn't even see that port complaint. Sure enough, I changed it and it's working. Not sure what app changed since the update, but at least it was an easy fix, thanks!

A bit unrelated, but I still don't get anything popping up from the buttons in the top corners, a panel slides over but its just blank, any ideas?

[Siddharth11]

It is supposed to show you all custom made playlists on the left and all the tracks in current playlist on the right. You can check the console too for its output. I'm not able to recreate it.

[dippnerd]

Is there anything I have to enable or tag playlists with? My console just shows "Connected to a client" and "Disconnected" over and over, that's it. I'm on the latest version of iTunes if it matters

[Siddharth11]

I'm not sure. For me it didn't require any configuration. Try to restart the server and console the output from server/serverSideEvents.js from functions emitting getPlaylists and getTracksData
