Volumio 2.x uses socket.io version 1.7.4. Are you using this version too?

Also, it would be helpful to provide some sample code…

i’m already on the latest version 1.8.1 i believe …
and that’s my problem to i found some old scripts and i’m on 3.074

all i found was this … WebSocket : Home Automation

but how to is this WebSocket APIs - Volumio Documentation

Can you use 1.7.4 just in case there’s some compatibility issue?

So am I right that you cannot even connect to Volumio?

btw i still don’t know how to use it at all patrick so it’s brand new for me

I checked the version by looking at Volumio’s package.json:

github.com

volumio/Volumio2/blob/buster/master/package.json

{
  "name": "Volumio2",
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "private": false,
  "license": "GPL-3.0-only",
  "scripts": {
    "preinstall": "",
    "start": "nodejs ./index.js",
    "lint": "semistandard \"./**/*.js\" --fix --verbose",
    "lint-staged": "lint-staged",
    "lint-JSON": "jsonlint -qD ./app/plugins",
    "test": "npm install --only=dev --no-package-lock && ./node_modules/.bin/mocha --reporter spec",
    "addLangString": "node ./utils/addlangstring.js"
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.js": [
      "semistandard --fix --verbose",
      "git add"
    ]
  },

I got my copy of socket.io client here (download socket.io.min.js):

Or you can just take the one I used for the Now Playing plugin:

Are you using this in a web page or within a NodeJS module?

i want to use it as a remote ( stream deck ) i use now the rest api but that doesn’t work that well previous is broken …

dvo · October 16, 2021, 11:07am

and i used your new plugin in a web page .

dvo · October 16, 2021, 11:14am

this is already giving me problems patrick can’t seem to find the things …

your now playing plugin is installed and running …

patrickkfkan · October 16, 2021, 11:14am

Do you program the stream deck with Node?
So I assume you know how to install Node modules?

Why don’t you PM me instead?
