Re: Announcer Usage questions

I was trying to install this plugin. However, the link to the microcosm software just leads to a blog. Where are we supposed to get that from?

-Thanks!!!

EDIT: Nevermind I was able to find it through a search and 3rd party. From what I can tell the site the link points to is just some information about Operating systems though it appears hosted by Microcosm. quite strange. :)

Re: Announcer Usage questions

I can't seem to reproduce this issue. The logs you shared seem to indicate the IndigoPluginHost service itself is hanging. It's possible that the Announcer plugin is somehow responsible but since I can't reproduce it, you'll probably want to do some detailed troubleshooting.

If you're using the Homebridge Buddy plugin, try disabling it then restarting the computer (not just the Indigo server, but the entire computer). I've seen intermittent hangs on my system in the past with that plugin installed, but not frequent enough to be able to track down the cause. The second thing I'd try to do is disable all other plugins in Indigo, then re-enable them one at a time until you start to see the errors. Yes, depending on how many plugins you're using, that could effectively disable the server, but it's the only way to narrow down what's causing it.

Re: Announcer Usage questions

Restarting the computer always helps to get Announcer back and working. Homebridge buddy I never downloaded.
But I started to disable AirfoilPRO and then enabled it. Almost immediately I got:

Is this of any help?

Thanks so far Nathan,

Re: Announcer Usage questions

Hi Mirko.

Thanks for the details. Perhaps there's some kind of strange incompatibility between the two plugins. To try to confirm that it's actually a conflict between Announcer and Airfoil PRO, enable Announcer and disable Airfoil PRO then start re-enabling the other plugins you use one at a time to see if you still get the errors. If you don't ever get any errors, than there's something odd going on with Announcer and Airfoil PRO.

Re: Announcer Usage questions

Hi Nathan,

I switched off all the Plug-inn's. Then one by one I switched them on again. Got no Announcer message.
But Announcer does not work.
I switched on the Announcer debug all in green:

Re: Announcer Usage questions

So it looks like it works with Airfoil Satellite turned off but starts to fail if Airfoil Satellite running?

Re: Announcer Usage questions

Okay. So it’s not related to Airfoil Satellite. The error says “OSERROR: -1712”. Which is an Apple Event timeout error. This means macOS itself is giving up while waiting for Play Sound to respond.

The suggestions I found online for fixing error -1712 all say to repair permissions (which is part of the First Aid process in macOS 10.11 and up), and then delete all copies of the application that isn’t responding (“Play Sound” in this case). Before deleting it, though, be sure you can find a link to download another copy. The developer no longer maintains the application so it might be hard to find a download links. Once you find a working download link, delete all copies of Play Sound on your computer, restart the computer (to clear the Finder’s cache of known applications, hopefully) then download and install the Play Sound application again. Hopefully that will help. But I can’t guarantee it will.

Re: Announcer Usage questions

Hi Nathan,

I waited a while before posting my final reply because I wanted to check if Announcer stayed stable. It did!!
I downloaded a new 'Play Sound' from: http://download.cnet.com/Play-Sound/300 ... 25096.html
The previous Play Sound used to be inside a folder with almost the same name together with two other items included in the download.
The folder used to be named: Play-Sound. The app: Play Sound.app

The position of the folder with the app never used to be a problem when I used Indigo at my MacMini Server running 10.6.8
It all worked fine until I had to migrate Indigo 6 to my new MacMini running Sierra. I upgraded to Indigo 7 and then the whole problem started........

Now I replaced the Play Sound.app direct into the application folder and I left the folder Play-Sound with the other items next to it in the application folder as well.

I re-routed all (quite a few...oef!!) the Announcer triggers and no more problems!

Thanks for looking into the matter!!

Regards,

Mirko
