Had everything running fine on Node.js v5.10.1, upgraded to v7.0.0 and got the following error:

$ peerflix-server
/root/.nvm/versions/node/v7.0.0/lib/node_modules/peerflix-server/node_modules/socket.io/lib/store.js:35
Store.prototype.__proto__ = EventEmitter.prototype;
                                        ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

    at Module._compile (module.js:573:32)

Reverting back to v5.10.1 resolved the issue.

OK, it looks like it's time to update socket.io
