Q Light Controller Plus / Forum / [Read-Only] Development: [20141018] OSX TEST version

Massimo Callegari - 2014-10-18

Ok guys, let's have another go on this !

I finally managed to figure out why audio playback was not working on Qt5. So here's a new TEST shot. It is based on Qt 5.3.2.

Download here: http://qlcplus.sourceforge.net/test/QLC+_4.8.2-TEST-20141023.dmg

[20141023 EDIT] I've made some steps forward on the Video playback. Please give it a try as much as you can, testing different formats, windowed/fullscreen, multiple screens, etc..

Please, since I don't have a real Mac, I'd appreciate to read back all your findings on this version.
Probably there are still some obscure areas in search for love. (like audio triggers?)

  I tried this version and the audio input finally is working without freezing or not recognising any audio on my mac.(It got stuck on the original 4.8.2 as some other users described). I am using Mac OS 10.10.

I gave it a spin. I have OSX 10.9.4

Sorry, it has the same problem as before. Audio speeds up and falls out of sync as soon as another function is added to a show or collection.

Hi Massimo,
I've just tried last snapshot on my Mac with Yosemite.

Good news:
- RGB Matrix widget are perfect. No more overlapping buttons and strange things ;)
- Audio is fully working for both input and output/playback

Bad news:
- I've tested some MP4 and MOV videos but they are not working and QLC+ keeps crashing with the following errors. Hope it helps! ;)

Hi Alessandro, thanks for the feedback.

When I went back to Linux I found a disaster on video playback. So I've fixed some more things but didn't have the time to make a new OSX snapshot.
I might upload a new one soon when I have some time.

Audio Triggers work perfectly for me on OS X 10.10. As suspected Qt4 was likely to blame for that, there were a lot of bugs causing the graph to hang, but with Qt5 it seems to be perfect :) Thanks Massimo!

Now that it works well I'm going to try to play around with the audio triggers file. Is the build process still very alpha for OS X from source for Qt5/4.8.2 or is it pretty smooth now?

  Hi, I've added the build instructions for Qt5 here
  https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/wiki/OSX-build-Qt5
  
  Everything should go smooth if you follow them
  Please let me know if you find mistakes in the howto

Cool, thank you for clarifying. Things are running much more smoothly (for my purposes) with this build on OS X 10.10, but I don't really use the shows feature right now or import audio/video. But overall it seems to be performing well for me.

Following the instructions I get this error doing "make" on qlc.

Already installed all dependancies successfully and ola from git / source

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"ola::StringTrim(std::string)", referenced from:
ola::QLCLogDestination::Write(ola::log_level, std::string const&) in qlclogdestination.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

any clue?

(my system is 10.10, QT 5.3.2)

  Hi Alessandro, which version of OLA do you have in your system ?
  Also, did you get it from macport or did you build it manually ?
  
  Maybe it's just a matter of updating your macports tree ?
  sudo port selfupdate

    Hi Massimo,
    I've tried first with ola from macports and then with ola built from source (0.9.2). I get the same error...
