mhm. Interesting never saw something like that before. Could you please add some metadata over here? Like: OS version, Node Version, ITunes version?
Than I would try my best to replicate this.
OS X Version: 10.11 Beta (15A278b) but I thought I had updated to the official release, so I will be doing that soon. iTunes Version: 12.3.2 Node version: v5.5.0
If you think running the beta is the problem I can try updating to that and getting back to you once I do, that was you don't have to worry about trying to match OS version for testing purposes.
Updating to the final release of El Capitan seemed to fix things. I have encountered this with other software, so it might be possible that you have an OS X version specified somewhere, but I haven't looked through your project to know that.
Okay, so that was short lived. I am now encountering the same issue again. Is it possible that some application i have running at the same time is causing this problem?
Still exactly the same error message?
I'm having the same problem but only for a particular keyword.
iTunes: search tron

My environment:
itunes-remote 2.1.0
npm 3.5.3
node 5.4.1
iTunes 12.3.2.35
Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.3
Okay. I’m still not able to reproduce that.
But according to the error message it seems like osascript returns undefined
in index.js:125 where it should return a string representation of an array containing the playlistname and the amount of songs found by the search. Like ["itunes-remote", 167]
if I search for tron
or ["itunes-remote", 0]
if i search for symphony
.
I have no idea why osascript returns undefined
.
But you could try to enlighten me by pasting the following into you Macs Script Editor.app
:
(function() {
var playlistName = 'itunes-remote';
var app = Application('iTunes');
var searchTerm = 'tron';
var library = app.libraryPlaylists[0];
var result;
var list;
console.log('itunes =', app.version());
console.log('library =', library.name());
app.run();
result = app.search(library, {
for: searchTerm
});
console.log('matches =', result.length);
console.log('album of first hit =', result[0].album());
try {
app.userPlaylists[playlistName]();
} catch (e) {
console.log('create playlist');
app.make({
new: 'playlist',
withProperties: {
name: playlistName
}
});
}
list = app.userPlaylists[playlistName];
app.delete(list.tracks);
result.forEach(function(element) {
app.duplicate(element, {
to: list
});
});
console.log('play time =', list.time());
//list.play();
return [
playlistName,
result.length
];
})();
What’s the output compared to this screenshot:
The script editor should be shipped with every mac.
Thanks, Michael
hello Michael I'm so not an expert on these things but dipping into this with your remote. I have it installed on el captian . I tried the play artist command in order to choose who to play but i get this: iTunes: play artist ? Choose an artist (Use arrow keys) Vorpal Prompt error: [TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null]
Any thoughts? Thanks
When attempting to run a search with the itunes-remote system I get the following error.
