mdns problems

[coricidin12]

I had a lot of trouble installing this package because of node-gyp rebuild errors with mdns. I tried different computers, ubuntu, debian, windows, different node versions, etc. I finally got it to install using this:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm

Now I can access the web interface, but as soon as I send a notification to the server, I get this error:

{ text: 'Hello Google Cast' }
events.js:160
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: getaddrinfo -3008
at errnoException (/home/mike/Desktop/ghome/google-cast-public-address/node_modules/mdns/lib/resolver_sequence_tasks.js:199:11)
at getaddrinfo_complete (/home/mike/Desktop/ghome/google-cast-public-address/node_modules/mdns/lib/resolver_sequence_tasks.js:112:10)
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.oncomplete (/home/mike/Desktop/ghome/google-cast-public-address/node_modules/mdns/lib/resolver_sequence_tasks.js:120:9)

It still seems do to be related to mdns. Anyone have any ideas or can confirm a setup that's working? I've tried so many different things I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
