Cannot transfer tracks to MD
Similar to axel's issue before me. I can open the app, see the contents of the MD in my player, but can't transfer anything. When I click Transfer it says "Converting to WAV" and just sits there forever. Attached is a screenshot with the debug window open and the log file.
ffmpeg returned code null seems suspicious. I am under the impression that the ffmpeg cannot be run (e.g. it searches for it in some incorrect location), and that the conversion does not even start.
I’m no programmer AT ALL, but that seems like it could be the case. All of that code in the log comes up instantly. It doesn’t seem to even have time to try. I did check to make sure the ffmpeg file it references is where it thinks it is, which it seems to be. But I dunno.
Yes, I also have the ffmpeg converter binary available, so I'm not sure what goes wrong.
In any case, I think it would help in debugging if Vue.JS and other libraries used by PlatinumMD weren't obfuscated (currently, if you click on renderer.js, it takes you to obfuscated code).
Are you using the latest version? I've found sometimes the conversion fails due to a filename containing a weird character, but doesn't appear so in your case. I must admit I haven't tested it heaps with FLAC. Will try test with one tomorrow.

Definitely using the latest version under the Releases section. I copy & pasted all the terminal commands and they (seemed to) all installed fine. It's weird. My limited knowledge of how these things work leads me to think it can't access/use the ffmpeg file.
I think I fixed this. I was doing some exploring trying to duplicate the commands that platinum-MD runs behind the scenes by looking at the log window and manually typing things into the terminal. One thing led to another and I realized that the ffmpeg binary included with PMD (in Macintosh HD ▸ Applications ▸ platinum-md ▸ Contents ▸ Resources ▸ bin) was a different version that what brew installed. Therefore it seemed to be referencing the wrong path on my hard drive for all of the libraries it depends on. I replaced that ffmpeg file with the one found in "Macintosh HD ▸ usr ▸ local ▸ Cellar ▸ ffmpeg ▸ 4.2.1-with-options_2 ▸ bin". And now, I just completed a transfer of a FLAC file to my NetMD player!! I just played it through and it transferred without error.
Nice catch. Indeed, the two ffmpeg binaries are different for me as well.
After replacing the binaries, I can do the encoding to WAV.
However, the transfer itself fails.

@axel22 interesting, it still looks like the "Raw title" of the disks has some strange characters in it. Raw title: 0��Q��", - is this definitely a completely blank disc?
@patchrick84 nice work with the troubleshooting! I wonder what happened, I'll actually be changing how ffmpeg works in the future as I need it to be cross-compatible with other OS's in the future, but curious why it wasn't using the included binary.
@gavinbenda - Thanks! Like I said, I’m no programmer, but once in a while I surprise myself!!
The app has huge promise and I look forward to further testing!
@gavinbenda Yes, I think it is blank, although the box was open when I bought it on eBay.
But, to make sure, I opened an entirely new, sealed minidisc, and retried everything. I am including photos as proof. :)
Oh wow - yeah that's a comprehensive test! My only (unfortunate) thought is that the underlaying linux-minidisc CLI doesn't support your HiFi unit, don't suppose you have a portable NetMD device to test with?
I had exactly the same experience as patchrick84. I copied the version of ffmpeg from /usr/local/Cellar into the platinum-md binfolder and it managed to convert and transfer ok after that. Thanks for going to the effort of creating this software for us Minidisc tragics!
@patchrick84 Thanks for figuring this out! Had the exact same issue and now things are working! Brilliant! Also thanks to @gavinbenda for creating this magic!
