bug report

KinemeCore 0.5.1 new installation to system not detected on 10.5.8 MacBook Pro

Problem:

I downloaded the latest KinemeCore installer and ran it. This was my first time installing KinemeCore -- it was not replacing an earlier install.

Installation put the KinemeCore.plugin file in my /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/ directory with admin permissions, however the K menu did not appear in QC (or any other sign the plugin had loaded), even after relaunch, reboot, and reinstall attempts.

Solution:

Most of my Kineme patches are actually installed in /Users/MyUserName/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/. As an experiment, I tried manually relocating the plugin there and authenticating. Relaunched QC, and the K menu appeared! So far things all appear to be working correctly.

Cause?

Not sure if the issue could be:

  • Because I have a file in /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins (OpenEmuQC.plugin)
  • Because I have files in both Patches and Plug-Ins in my user library
  • Because my other Kineme plugins are in userspace, but the installer automatically puts core in systemspace
  • ...some other reason.

Vade Movie Player

Danny_J's picture

I had d/l this sometime last week and works great. Today i open a file that was using the vade movie player patch and the movies aren't being displayed. Now I'm aware that its a beta so does anyone no way it just randomly stopped working. I didn't make any changes to the qtz file. Last time i opened it everything was working 100%. I didn't delete or edit the movie playlist nor did i make any changes to the plugins location. Just simply opened an existing qtz comp that was 100 percent working and now the movie player stop displaying. I even hovered over the image input for the tooltip to pop up. It did, but with no movie being displayed. I tried the normal movie loader patch and it works fine (with the exception that it is still glitchy and doesn't have the right output duration, which forced me to find vades). Any ideas or solutions? I even tried to redownload it and still nothing.
