TypeError: ChromecastAPI is not a constructor #89

I started getting this error when I updated node to v20.16.0 and also chromecast-api@0.2.6

Using this code...

const ChromecastAPI = require('chromecast-api') chromecastClient = new ChromecastAPI();

Results in:

TypeError: ChromecastAPI is not a constructor at castBrowse (/var/www/html/node/indexer.js:1849:28) at WebSocket.

Is there a work around or fix for this?

Ugh, so npm downgraded my chromecast-api version for some reason. By setting my package.json dependency to "chromecast-api": "^0.4.2" and then running npm update it sorted itself out.

Leaving this here for google to index in case someone else has this issue.
