Airfoil Isn't Running

This forum is where we've moved the discussions of the original Airfoil plugin that shipped with Indigo 5/6 (and is now open source). You may continue to ask questions in this subforum, just make sure that it's not about the new Airfoil Pro plugin that shipped with Indigo 7 (ask those questions below).

Airfoil Isn't Running

Post by AndrewGWalsh »

I am getting this message when I switch on debugging - yet I can see the application on the screen.

Everything is on latest versions.

Grateful thanks for any suggestions...

You probably have multiple copies of Airfoil installed on your Mac. Mavericks (and potentially Mountain Lion) seems to get easily confused when trying to target apple events when there are multiple versions of the same app on any mounted disk. Delete all but the latest Airfoil app and reboot.

Thanks for that - although I still have the problem.

I've tried deleting the only copy of Airfoil I can find, rebooting, reinstalling (it is just a copy of the file to the applications directory) and the problem remains.

Then you're experiencing another bug that was introduced either in Airfoil, Mavericks, or some combination thereof. I believe I have a workaround for that issue - 6.0.8, which should land in the next several days, will hopefully solve the issue.

Excellent news, I'll wait on 6.0.8 :-)

Umm, upgraded to 6.0.8 (and then to 6.0.9) and I still have the problem with Airfoil :-(

I don't suppose you have any other thoughts on the matter?

Not really - let's do this:
  1. Turn on debugging (Plugins->Airfoil->Toggle Debugging)
  2. Restart the plugin (Plugins->Airfoil->Reload
  3. Let it run until it fails
  4. Turn off debugging (Plugins->Airfoil->Toggle Debugging)
Then email me (indigo DASH support AT perceptiveautomation DOT com) the log from the time the plugin restarts (just copy/paste from the event log window).

Did you ever send this or did the problem resolve itself?
