Crashing
Roger.
The release binary installs fine on high sierra, but regularly crashes and burns. Totally un-usable. I am trying to get video sources into Wirecast via Syphon. I'd love to help find and fix the issue. Tell me where/what you would like me to do to get you appropriate diagnostic details.
I've seen some frequent crashes too, but never found out why, if it's the Syphon implementation or some other VLC problem. The same media, sometimes crashes, sometimes don't. I won't ask for logs or reports, since I can't analyse and debug right now.
Let me restate the question. It was crashing almost all the time... I was unable to get it to work in a stable manner at all. I understand the current VLC_Syphon release was from a nightly build. If we want to eliminate the possibility of a problem with VLC, it would make sense to do a build with the current release 3.x code. I did a quick cursory attempt to build the current source tree on my mac and failed. Any chance you could look at doing a rebuild with the 3.x code?
Not right now, I'm overloaded with a job and personal projects. I remember it took a whole day just to make it build on my (old) mac, and I don't have that environment available anymore to resume. Even when I implemented it, my goal was to just make it work as fast as possible. I could as a paid job, so if that's something you'll use commercially we could talk privately.
Not using it commercially, but I'd like to try and work it out. One thing that is constant for me... One media file works fine. If I try to open multiple files in a play list and move from one file to the next, it fails. Feels like it is something with some memory housekeeping possibly reopening syphon API's or something. I just thought I'd share that in case it helps anyone else looking at this.
