Max and Mac OS 10.5 issue...

[krmathis]

I have just installed the latest Mac OS 10.5 (build 9a559), and have noticed a problem with Max r1213.
Its impossible to access Preference -> Formats. I click the 'Formats' icon, but nothing happens.

Ok, I know that Mac OS 10.5 is not released yet and hence not supported. But wanted to report in case its not a known issue, or even better have an easy fix.
Thanks!

I won't have access to Leopard until it comes out; I will fix these issues as soon as I can, though.

[krmathis]

I totally understand.
Only a months or so to go, so I am pretty sure I can manage without Max for this short time.

Any news?
Now that Mac OS 10.5 is golden I mean. Even if its only few hours old... :p

I am so missing Max!

I have just unwrapped my copy of 10.5, and I'll be installing it this evening. I'll take a look at what will be required to get Max working on Leopard over the weekend.

Are we certain build 1273 doesn't work on Leopard? I couldn't get any of the earlier builds to compile with XCode 2.5 (understandable), but 1273 suddenly does and the Max app it produces seems to work flawlessly on 10.4.10. I would check if build 1273 built with XCode 3 ran on Leopard...

Excellent!
I really appreciate the work you put into developing this application.

I am sure you will find this out soon enough, but clicking on "Formats" generates the following error in Console:

Code: Select all

10/26/07 10:00:18 PM Max[452] *** Assertion failure in getCoreAudioFileDataFormats(), /Users/me/Development/Max-svn/Utilities/CoreAudioUtilities.m:206 
10/26/07 10:00:18 PM Max[452] The call to AudioConverterSetProperty failed (!dat).

Thanks for the great work.

I've gotten Max to run on 10.5, but I have run into an alarming issue that I believe is a bug outside of Max. I am currently investigating the cause.

I've checked all changes into svn for anyone interested in rolling a test version.

For me Max 0.7.1 quits when attempted run on 10.5, at least for FLAC->m4a conversion...

That is the bug I alluded to; conversions to MPEG-4 don't work, but all others do. You'll likely get a crash similar to the following:

Code: Select all

The same code works properly in 10.4; I'm still trying to determine if the bug is mine or Apple's.

I have Max rev. 1276 up and running on Mac OS 10.5.
The 'Format' tab now opens fine. Not performed any ripping/encoding yet though.

Thanks!

I actually can't convince Max to encode, as I get a "No output formats are selected. Please select one or more output formats." error even though I've picked some formats and checked them as active. Also, when I select the AAC format, it specifically states "1 channels" and initially suggests 64 kbps. Maybe I'm missing something? Or my Leopard install is a freak of nature?

By the way, Stephen, Max is a wonderful program. Now that I've had it, I can't live without it.
Cheers!

I have the same "formats tab" problem with Leopard. Where did you get MAX rev 1276?

[dcorry]

I built rev 1276 (by doing a svn co -r 1276), and the menu 'works'. The menu opens, but I still get that error.
