ERROR - Plugin not registered

[crazy-jackrabbit]

Hello, i have a Problem with your plugin. i´ve installed the Plugin with npm install -g homebridge-dacp --unsafe-perm and added

{ "platform": "DACP", "devices": [ ] }

to the config.

After restart my homebridge with sudsystemctl restart homebridge -l I got the following Problem

Versions:

Update: If I clear the config (remove { "platform": "DACP", "devices": [ ] } homebridge starts without problems but with this notification:

I have exactly the same issue. Clean install. Are you using the username homebridge through systemd?

In other instances of bug reports like this, the node modules were installed in a different node installation. Are you sure that you have used the right node install? See #12 for example.
