OSX v1.0 crashes on launch


Loop

Recommended Posts

I opened up my Flirc app today & got an alert saying there was an upgrade to the app.

I clicked to download and upgrade. The process finished & I got a dialog saying 'Upgrade and relaunch' or something like that.

Then the OSX crash log appeared, I tried reopening but it did the same thing.

I thought it must have been a bad download, so I went to the website & downloaded the OSX dmg image from there.

Same result.  :o

 

I looked around on the site to see if I could find a download area where I could get the previous version - but I couldn't find it anywhere.

A link to 'previous versions' from the downloads page would've been nice!!  :rolleyes:

Fortunately I found that I still had my old 0.98 version in my downloads folder, so I reinstalled that and can program my remote now.

 

I'm using OSX 10.6.8 64bit (I tried opening the Flirc app as 32bit but it had the same result)

I'm going to get 10.7 and 10.6. Seems to be fine on 10.8. I'll get to the bottom of this after I reproduce it.

 

Could I trouble you to launch the app through the terminal:

 

./Flirc.app/Contents/MacOS/Flirc

 

This will spit out a bunch of logging information.

Thanks so much for all the help Loop.

Hey Jason,

I tried pasting what you put above into Terminal but it didn't work - I just got 'No such file or directory' returned

I'm not familiar with Unix commands but Googled this command 'open -a /Applications/Flirc.app/Contents/MacOS/Flirc' and used that instead

I'm afraid I got the same looking log come up in a window titled 'Flirc quit unexpectedly'

The log is at the following link

So sorry guys, I've been working so hard on updates and bug fixes. 

I finally got this one.

v1.1.3 is fixed. Backwards compatible from 10.5 and up. Booya

Jason,

I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance to test this out recently.

I downloaded the latest version from the site but I'm still getting a crash on launch of the Flirc app v1.1.5

If I return to version 0.98 it works fine.

I'm running 10.6.8 32bit on an intel Macbook Pro

 

A window appears saying "Flirc has unexpectedly quit" the details of the crash log are at the link below.

I really hope that helps.

 

Does the Flirc unit need to be plugged in on boot (I always plug it in after)?

Hey Jason,

I set up an external drive running 10.7.5 and booted from that.

Installed 1.2.2 and it worked perfectly.

I wanted to try out the newer firmware 2.3 and the inter-key delay settings for my Harmony remote (which is still double pressing a lot!)

Now when I go back to running 10.6.8 + Flirc v2.3 with the older 0.98 GUI is gets stuck in DFU mode.

Is that normal - is it possible to program a Flirc with v2.3 firmware using the older GUI v0.98?

Thanks for your help!

I don't think it should be going into DFU, however, I would say that it's not surprising. Do all your pairing in your other machine, then just use it with your paired remote on 10.6.8.

In other words, delete the app on 10.6.

 

Apple makes it impossible to try older releases. My 10.7 was working, after the 10.9.1 it stopped working. I can't even get into the 10.6 installer. I pretty much have to buy an old computer, it's ridiculous. I'm really sorry about that.
