Regular expression error when using brooker

[Mr-Groch]

When I try to use broker, all requests ends with regular expression error:

Authentication succeeded
Broker processing phrase: 'switch to the polsat channel' (en)
request failed
route:  /broker
query:  { phrase: 'switch to the polsat channel' }
error:  SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /^play a random (?<genre>.+ )?movie( of year (?<year>\d+))?/: Invalid group

}

When I deleted first item from en.json then error occurs on next... and so on...

You seem to use a pretty old nodejs version (9 or older), but you need 10 or higher for the broker to work.

[Mr-Groch]

OK, thanks, yous should update readme, in B.2, there is:

B.2 Set up local webserver (Click to expand instructions)
Install the Node.js application server on your target computer
Note: Required Version is 6.10 or above (8 preferred)

Unfortunately on Synology node v8 is the latest available...

yeah good point, I will update the readme.

And as I gather from #255 you can code. So the problem with node v8 is the regex feature of named groups. You could rewrite the en.json to use anonymous groups and adjust the code thats reading the match. At least the commands which only use the q parameter would then work.

Readme updated.
Ah and if you have a x86 synology model you might wanna try the docker hosting solution.
