TypeError: properties.filter is not a function

[ValoV83]

I'm getting this error using the plugin with my TV. It causes my Homebridge to crash and I have to manually login to HOOBS to restart the Homebridge service.

System info: HOOBS Version: 3.1.27 Homebridge Version: 0.4.53

I can operate the TV using the Panasonic TV Remote 2 app

It seems like it can't use the filter function on the response. Strange but I'll have a look why.

[g30r93g]

Probably won't make a difference, but just for the sake of trying, can you update your Node version?

[ValoV83]

Thanks for the reply. I’m already using (I think) the most current version of Node 12.16.2

[g30r93g]

yea so i’m getting it on occasion too. not too sure why just yet but i’ll have something soon :)

[ValoV83]

Thanks for looking in to it. Glad you where able to replicate the issue and it’s not a config issue with my setup.

Look forward to a fix shortly. Keep up the great work, your plugin is great! 👍

[g30r93g]

Please update to v7.1.0 and tell me if the issue persists. From what I could tell, viera.js was trying to log an error message and wasn't returning an array to perform filter on. Hopefully it's either showing something new in the log or its fixed :)

[ValoV83]

Thats great! Thanks for finding the fault. I've been avoiding using HOOBS to control my TV as it was crashing homebridge every time.

Look forward to the update and testing the quick fix.

[g30r93g]

Latest update is now available via npm :)

Updated the plugin but now getting an error on Homebridge startup:

Figured it out. Weird javascript behaviours that I didn't understand. Update to v7.2.0 and fingers crossed 🤞

[ValoV83]

That looks like it's sorted it! No errors in the logs and the TV is switching on/off within the Apple Home app without crashing Homebridge every few minutes.

Thanks very much 👍

Thanks for developing the plugin, keep up the great work.

Thanks for letting me know. Will try to keep at it for as long as I can :)
