It also does not work with 7.0.2

still the same error when building with 7.0.2

Did you tried downloading the project from scratch and doing npm install?

The project works for me.

[Dudedex]

removing the node_modules

and installing it again via npm install => also checked the version in the node_modules folder to be sure that it is the 7.0.2 version

Try removing also any "metadata" file and package-lock.json, it might have some old dependencies there.

so, it's a rabbit hole but the gist is (the links I'm about to send are in reverse chronological order for a reason):

• we start here: Add HTML Media types microsoft/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator#802

• then, 20 days later: Remove audioTracks from hls.js DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#43335

• yesterday: Some interfaces and properties declared in lib.dom are not being used by TS 3.9.2 microsoft/TypeScript#38544

• the refs: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/search?q=AudioTrackList&type=Issues

TL;DR: Don't use TS 3.9.2 for now. Anything below is fine
