Chromium crashes at npm start about destreamer

I am getting this same issue using puppeteer 2.0.0

Looks like puppeteer (the thing that drives the browser interaction) doesn't work with that particular version of Chromium for whatever reason this error gives us: Error: Protocol error (Performance.enable):. Looking at your screenshot it seems unable to connect to it (URL doesn't point to Microsoft Login page).

Try adding executablePath and point to a different Chromium binary -
https://github.com/snobu/destreamer/blob/dev/destreamer.ts#L50

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        executablePath: 'C:\\another\\chromium.exe'
...

The Chromium instance it launches for me on Windows (that works) is this one -
Version 78.0.3882.0 (Developer Build) (64-bit)

I believe if you play with the puppeteer version number in package.json (e.g. "puppeteer": "1.20.0") it should automatically pull a newer/older version for you on npm install. Try that first -

Okay perfect, changing puppeteer version number in package.json ("puppeteer": "1.20.0") solved the problem!

Thanks for reporting this issue. I'll fix the version number in both dev and master branches. Cheers!

did something change? it's all of a sudden giving me the same chromium crash screen now again. using "puppeteer": "^1.20.0" which was working previously

Remove node_modules/ and do a fresh npm install. It could be that Microsoft Stream has changed the id tags for the Azure Media Player elements this project is trying to hook to. If that's the case we need better logic than attempting to pick up page elements by hardcoded names.

@snobu thanks. I tried this and it did not work. I ended up installing the latest chromium distribution (think it was 81) and and then added the path manually to .launch() and and that seems to work.

Did you download the latest version from here (https://download-chromium.appspot.com/)? I tried doing that and it's still giving the same error from before. I just downloaded it and replaced the old directory: C:\destreamer-dev\node_modules\puppeteer.local-chromium\win64-706915\chrome-win
