Describe the bug
It suddenly stopped working after an update.
To Reproduce
- Install node
- Unpack vlc-discord-rpc
- Run start.bat
- Error
Terminal output
A problem occurred while installing modules. Ensure that npm is installed.
Your Setup:
- OS: Windows 21H2 (22000.120)
- NodeJS version: 14.17.4
Could you please explain what you updated before it stopped working, and what version of vlc-discord-rpc you are using as well as if you are using the bundled release or not?
I remember cleaning up my environmental variables, there was certainly a window update on that day as well. I've checked everything afterwards, made sure that the variables for node were all intact. So I am out of ideas...
I've tried both the bundled and unbundles releases and had no luck with either of them.
Is there a way to get more debug info out of the app?
I have edited start.bat to let it show you more information, if you could download the repository using the "Code" button at the top right of the main page and try that modified version it might provide more helpful information
I've solved the issue. It turns out my node was somehow borked, I wiped everything and installed it from the .exe and it didn't work. So I uninstalled it, used chocolatey to install node and it started working again.

As for the bundled release it unfortunately didn't change anything :(
