Max 0.8 rc2

[sbooth]

I've just posted r1357 as Max 0.8 rc2. The crashing issue on Tiger is fixed, hopefully.

[RonaldPR]

No crash, but an error message: "The call to ExtAudioFileGetProperty failed."

I tried to convert a flac file to apple lossless.

When accessing the File menu I get in Console:

Code: Select all

2008-03-26 11:31:42.377 Max[461] *** Illegal NSTableView data source (<FileArrayController: 0x11c0700>[object class: NSMutableDictionary, number of selected objects: 0]).  Must implement numberOfRowsInTableView: and tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:

When clicking the 'Convert' icon in the File Conversion window I get the above error message, and in Console:

Code: Select all

2008-03-26 11:32:16.144 Max[461] *** Assertion failure in -[CoreAudioEncoder encodeToFile:], /Users/sbooth/Development/Max-svn/Encoders/CoreAudioEncoder.m:190

Seems Max is looking for CoreAudioEncoder on your computer.

(Max-r1357 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 on alu Intel iMac)

I've fixed the first error.

I'm not sure why the second error is an error- are there any other messages in the console log (ie, the call to XXX failed)?

[RonaldPR]

I posted the console log above. There are no other messages. I am no expert, but does the second message not indicate that Max is looking in a location that is specific for your Mac only: /Users/sbooth/Development/Max-svn/Encoders/ ?

[sbooth]

No, it's just the path to the source file that was hardcoded in by a macro at compile time. It does help to locate the line number that is causing the error, but I can't duplicate it.

[RonaldPR]

Tried again, this time ripping a CD to Apple Lossless. Ripping proceeds fine, but when encoding should start I get the exact same error message and the exact same message in Console. Nothing else

[RonaldPR]

I dug up Max 0.7.1. The same conversion to apple lossless of the same flac file that I tried this morning succeeded with no problem.

This build crashes for me when encoding to FLAC. Encoding to MP3 is working as is FLAC with stable version (0.7). Would you like to see a crash log or is there anything else that might help?

[RonaldPR]

No problems while encoding to FLAC here. (10.4.11 on Intel)

[sbooth]

If you upgraded from 0.7.1 it is necessary to delete your preferences before running 0.8.

I've fixed the first error.

A message will pop up and say "The call to ExtAudioFileGetProperty failed."

[mathom]

The same happens to me.

[sbooth]

This could be a Tiger-specific bug. I am having no issues with this on my Leopard machine, but I will keep investigating.

[DaedalusX]

Note: This is a problem with a workaround, but I thought I'd bring it up just the same.

I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 and Max 0.8 RC2. I'm trying to rip and encode to AAC. The encode goes fine, but then I get this error:

Console.app shows this:

My custom tagging setting is this: {albumArtist}/{albumTitle}/{trackNumber} - {trackTitle}

It creates the initial rip file, the album artist folder and the album title subfolder, but doesn't create the file beneath those. It later occurred to me that I had both Apple Lossless and AAC configured and checked under Preferences->Formats, so it was trying to encode both files to the same path with the same names.

If I uncheck one or the other, I have no troubles. This is more of a UI issue than a technical issue, but it's an edge case without an obvious cause/solution for the user. Just thought I'd mention it.

Other than that, just wanted to stop in and say that you make one hell of a program.
