Hi there, great tool you have there. when im running it normally events are fired as described and everyone is happy. but when i set the node to run at start as a launch deamon no events are fired. i set up a little setup to recreate the scenario here you can run the load...sh script to setup the deamon reboot for it to take effect and than watch the output on /tmp/node-nowplaying-startup-test.out the set up is running with --inspect so you can look in devtools and see events aren't being triggered any help would be much appriciated

Hey there- Thanks! I won't be at a computer for a few days, but on the surface it sounds like some sort of user boundary issue. When you run it on launch, I'm thinking it's not running as the same user you run iTunes/Spotify from, so you can't see Distributed Notification events sent by your normal user.

Hooray for the quick reply. I updated the deamon to run as the user adding

    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>user</string>

to the plist but still no luck any other ideas? also updated the test scenario
