Don't sure if it's your case but native modules (.node) can't work if are placed into .asar

It worked few months ago. I have reinstalled my windows and now it throws error that module did not self register. My guess is that I am using wrong node or npm version, but I am not sure.

Then I would recommend you check if all your binaries (Electron and WebChimera.js) are 64 bit or 32 bit.

Im currently using "WebChimera.js_v0.3.1_electron_v11.1.0_VLC_v3.0.11_x64_win" from this site: https://github.com/RSATom/WebChimera.js/releases on electron 11 and everything working fine. Check that filesize WebChimera.js.node is 437KB

@Nemanja02 please confirm you still have issue with the latest WebChimera.js version

I received this error when my electron version did not match my precompiled binaries. You might have installed electron 12 when you reinstalled Windows
