Airfoil: "Application isn’t running"

[stoffergoffer]

After updating airfoil to the newest version (4.8.2), the airfoil plugin no longer works. In the log i get "application isn't running".
I read this might be related to indigo 6.05, but i had airfoil working with that version before the update today.
Anyone else encountered this error, any solution yet?

see the other discussions: install indigo twice that it works again.. its not indigo its mavericks

hmm i have now tried to install indigo multiple times, and downgrade to 6.04. but nothing seems to work.
Anybody else having this problem after updating airfoil?

Have you tried reinstalling Airfoil as well? I don't know if that'll fix the issue but it's worth a try. I have to re-install Indigo almost every time the computer reboots because the OS doesn't think IndigoServer is running when sent AppleEvents via AppleScript. Very frustrating.

I just upgraded both on my development Mac (Lion) and on my testing MacBook Pro (Mavericks) and both are running fine, no errors. I'd try deleting Airfoil and reinstalling that.

I have to re-install Indigo almost every time the computer reboots because the OS doesn't think IndigoServer is running when sent AppleEvents via AppleScript.

Just quitting the server then restarting it manually (double-clicking on the server app: /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/IndigoServer.app) doesn't work? That seems to work for some people...

I haven't tried double-clicking on the IndigoServer app directly. Next time it happens I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Well, after reinstalling airfoil my existing actions are working again. But when i try to create a new action it can't find my airfoil speakers.
In the log i now get this error:

Airfoil Error Error in plugin execution runConcurrentThread:

You have a speaker with a name that contains a unicode (non-ascii) character in it. The fix is coming in the next release (6.0.6) but until it drops you can just remove any unicode characters from any speaker name (it appears you have an ø in one).

Yes thanks for the support, that solved my problem
