Audio works, no video

[Jess3Jane]

Castnow plays audio just fine from my arch box, but I cannot play video. I have tried with two files, an .avi and an .mp4 The .avi just refuses to work. The .mp4 plays the audio of the video, but the screen is filled with one unmoving image from one of the first frames. Debug options do not show any errors or anything of that sort. Also, the --tomp4 option returns the following error: /usr/lib/node_modules/castnow/index.js:127 if (!status.media || ^ TypeError: Cannot read property 'media' of undefined

I'm having this same issue on arch linux. Not having a problem with mp4 files, and I wouldn't expect avi files to work as-is, but "--tomp4 file.avi" does cause a crash like this:

/usr/lib/node_modules/castnow/index.js:127

                 ^

Never mind, this crash was fixed by f557076e569ce36c5808eac4e46abd723af7b780 and I had to switch from the old AUR package "castnow" to the newer "castnow-git"
