Can't use this package with vite 3

Hey, I currently use music-metadata with a buffer polyfill and vite 2 in my project. I would like to switch to this package (which is intended for the use in the browser) and vite 3. Sadly, it does not work, and I get the following error. I tried to polyfill the events module, but that led to more similar errors and I got into polyfilling hell.

Uncaught Error: Module "events" has been externalized for browser compatibility. Cannot access "events.EventEmitter" in client code.

I created a minimal reproduction of the issue here: https://github.com/lennyanders/music-metadata-browser-8-with-vite-3. There you just need to execute npm i, after that npm start and then you can see the error in the browser console.

Thanks for looking into it and if I can be of any help, please let me know.

I got it working using a buffer, events and utils polyfill and a bit of vite config trickery.

Here is the branch with the working code: https://github.com/lennyanders/music-metadata-browser-8-with-vite-3/tree/music-metadata-with-polyfills

I might look into you’r branch though (and maybe music-metadata itself), since I’m not so happy using it like this.

I think you need to polyfill:

• buffer
• stream

music-metadata-browser is CommonJS module. Eventually I would like to provide an ES-Module music-metadata also works in client side environment. Closes effort that can be found in the es-module-with-browser-support branch. I welcome help with that.
