Can't instantiate flac.FileDecoder

Interesting, I've never played with the node-C++ stuff myself

Hi, did you ensured the FLAC library is on the path? You can also load libFLAC manually with flac.load('path/to/the/libFLAC.dll')

@melchor629 I have the official flac binaries in my path. Where do I find this libFLAC dll you refer to?

[melchor629]

This node package uses the library flac.dll (or libflac.dll) only, not the executables. Look if the DLL is between the executables, if not look for it on google (a quick look I found this page that has a download for libFLAC.dll).

[melchor629]

try the latest version 2.4.0, it should not require the libflac.dll anymore

Are you making it use the flac executable now? I think that would be smart. I did something similar.

[melchor629]

Nop, it now includes libflac.dll inside the prebuilt library so it does not require any external libflac.dll (which is way faster than calling flac.exe all the time).

In case you are in a platform with no precompiled library, it will download the sources of flac and compile them alongside this package.

There are a lot of tricks someone can do with C/C++ and the right build files.

On the other hand, with the latest update, are you able to properly use the library? If so, feel free to close the issue :)
