From source:

npm link

Dependencies

• node-plist

  • had merge my fix, see my pull-request

+ node-plist

- It's my fork, add node-webkit support

- If you are not in node-webkit, you can modify package.json like:

~~"dependencies": { "plist": "~0.4.3", ... }~~

• node_mdns

  • It's my fork, hack an error no such record
  • Unfortunately the original node_mdns is woefully out of date and has required many tweaks to get working

• ffmpeg

~~项目已自带(dep目录下)，若不喜欢，~~下面是自行安装命令

brew install ffmpeg
