Dear all,  
today I thought it was time to update my headless installations of Plexamp on Raspberry Pi but had the bad surprise that the service doesn’t start anymore.  
The result of the manual launch of the process is:

```auto
pi@plexamp2:~ $ /usr/bin/node /home/pi/plexamp/js/index.js
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1282
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Error: Module did not self-register: '/home/pi/plexamp/treble/linux-arm64/treble.node'.
    at Object.Module._extensions..node (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1282:18)

    at r (/home/pi/plexamp/js/index.js:2:3349196)
    at Object.81546 (/home/pi/plexamp/js/index.js:2:334557) {
  code: 'ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED'
}

```

which is the same log that I find in /var/log/daemon.log

Node version is v16.20.2

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you  
Gaetano

Upgrade to NodeJS 20.  
Manually: [Install Headless Plexamp for your Raspberry Pi to create a Plex endpoint | How To Hi-Fi](https://howtohifi.com/install-headless-plexamp-endpoint-home-network-raspberry-pi/)

Via script (might need fresh deployment depending on how you installed initially): [GitHub - odinb/bash-plexamp-installer: PlexAmp-installer for Raspberry Pi with ARM64 HW. Headless music-player controlled from any other Plexamp client.](https://github.com/odinb/bash-plexamp-installer)
