Unable to run Antennas - SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

[jacksummers94]

Trying to run Antennas as an alternative to TVHProxy and cannot get it running i have created an user in TVHeadend and still not working just wondering if anyone else has come across the issue?

Commands using:

npx antennas --config config/config.yml

or

node index.js

Output same error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/antennas/src/router.js:10
    if (channels?.response?.status === 403) { throw new Error('Username and password not accepted by Tvheadend'); }
                 ^

I too have this same issue.
I'm running 4.3-2140~g14298acb6
Have tested also on 4.2.8-36 with the sam error.
I the anonymous user * has been created in TV, what user:pass details need to go into the config.yml file?
Have tried with none.
Have also tried creating a user account with required permissions and entering the account details in config.yml, same issue.

I had this same issue. It is because the version of node you are running is out of date. I updated the version of node I was running with this, YMMV depending on what OS you are running: https://askubuntu.com/a/480642
