Failure to Launch

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: starwynd Saturday, June 10 2006 @ 09:37 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

This program is one of my most frequently used programs. I would be lost without it. Unfortunately, this most recent release is completely useless as it is. I have a G3 iBook, which plays videos just fine under normal circumstances, so speed is not the issue here. The program simply doesn't play anything. Watching how MPlayer works, it normally loads up the binary as a second application to play video. I can only guess it isn't working. I've seen some programmers run into problems with G3's and Tiger, because there is some sort of option in the XCode that enables AltiVec support, and appears to get confused if it encounters G3 there. I'm not a programmer, so I can't be more specific. This is simply what I have heard from people who are programmers, and have seen similar problems in other programs. Perhaps this is the case. If it is, then it should be a simple fix for the people who bring us MPlayer. The problem is, right now, this program doesn't work for a chunk of people.

Failure to Launch - starwynd

It should be noted the "incompatible cpu-subtype" error is exactly what I have heard from happening in other programs, where there is a default Tiger option setting during compiling that assumes G4 or better. There must be a way to change that setting, because the other programs (ScummVM was one I can remember.) work now on my G3.
