Hi there,  
i have a problem with the _node-red-contrib-osc_ module.

Node-Red version 0.19.2.  
node-red-contrib-osc version 1.1.0  
Ubuntu 16.04 (lts)

I've installed the module by the palette manager.  
Once installed, there was a first problem: in the installed modules list, the osc module had a red alert about "Object object"  
See the pic: [https://ibb.co/kf3Mcp](https://ibb.co/kf3Mcp)

I have anyway the osc node in the nodes list.  
But if i try to use it, i have this error:

"Flow stopped due to missing node types  
osc"  
See the other pic: [https://ibb.co/dS5dOU](https://ibb.co/dS5dOU)

If i run "nodered -v", in the console have:  
"  
[info] Waiting for missing types to be registered:  
[info] - osc  
"

I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall several times, also removing the osc folder in the node\_modules folder, and also installing via CLI.

I'm using the same module in other nodered instances on different system, but without problem at all.  
Am i missing something?  
Any tips?  
Thanks  
cheers  
M

Hi ukmoose,  
you got it.  
The nodejs version was 4.2.6 (quite strange, forgot to update)  
After updating, the node module start working like a charm...  
🙂  
"solved" i'd say!  
Thanks!
