I keep getting this when trying to run this plugin

ERROR LOADING PLUGIN homebridge-bluesound:

Any way to resolve? thanks!

Hi
You need to install the xml2js module globally.
You can use npm to install it: sudo npm install xml2js -g
Once I get some free time, I will make sure that this is noted in the readme.
Hope this helps :-)

thanks for your swift reply! I made it work, installed everything, added homebridge and the Node 2 to the Apple Home app.
It constantly "pings" like this:

[3/4/2017, 11:59:54 AM] [living] Setting state to Play
[3/4/2017, 11:59:54 AM] [living] HTTP set power function succeeded!
[3/4/2017, 11:59:55 AM] [living] Light received power http://192.168.1.65:11000/Status state is currently 1

I then "switched off" the Node 2 in the Home app which resulted in:

[3/4/2017, 11:59:55 AM] [living] Setting state to Pause

I was unable to launch homebridge after that, kept getting above error UNTIL I via the BlusOS App started a Tidal stream (instead of a TuneIn stream)

I now get the "pings" again

But the Apple Home App will not recognize homebridge any more.

Before I dig any further into trying to get this to work, can you maybe give me an idea of how (which app?) you use this plugin? Is it simply to turn on/off a bluesound player? Can you make the player play a specific preset?

thanks again for your help!

Hi,
I also try this plugin,
it's necessary to modify index.js file (in /var/lib/node_modules/homebridge-bluesound/index.js
and change this line
if (stringState == "play" || straingState == "stream") {

with this line
if (stringState == "play" || stringState == "stream") {
