There's always the XBox. Although I guess many people would laugh if
you called it small! :)

Only problem I see is spdif out, otherwise would be sweet.
I also understand that 0.17 runs native.
unless there is usb option?

I have been running the OS X frontend (.17) on my MAC mini since
I upgraded my backend yesterday. You can purchase a DVI - SVideo/Composite
adapter for $20 from Apple (M9267G/A) if you don't have a DVI input on
your display. Also, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse work well. There is
a remote available (TB638LL/A, $59.95)that plugs in USB and should be able
to control myth since there's a keyboard mapping application. I do not
have a remote.

My mini plays default rate video from my backend which records from a
PVR-250. I have the 1.25Ghz version. I have upgraded the RAM to 1GB so I
can't tell you how well it would work with the standard 256M. I also
cannot verify the ability to playback MPEG4 streams. YMMV

Unfortunately, I cannot attest to the ability to process HD quality video.
The OS X page from the Wiki states that it's not suggested at this time.
DVD playback with the DVD player application included with OS X seems to
work without any problems so far. I haven't had a chance to really test
the DVD playback ability that much yet.

As for the frontend application, it is a user application from Jeremiah's
binaries. (Thanks Jeremiah!) You don't have to install the development
tools or do any compilation if you use his package. I have an alias on
the desktop and after a double-click, up comes mythfrontend.

In theory, you could map a share on the MAC to your backend to increase
available storage. OS X is built on a BSD core, so SMB and NFS are options.
I have not tried this myself, and doubt that I will.

Alternatively, you could build a PC system that would accomplish the same
task. If you want a Macintosh to begin with, or like the design, the mini
is a decent choice. I purchased the mini to have a Macintosh. Being able
to use it as a frontend with my MythTV system is an added bonus for me.

Mike is correct there. No optical output. The only output is a stereo
jack.

Apple does list this accessory on the MAC mini page though:

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Transit-main.html

Provides a 5.1 optical interface through the USB. (AC-3 and DTS)

256M is hardly enough for OS X to run properly by itself, I'm pretty
certain that mythfrontend wouldn't like it. Not sure if 512M would
suffice.

That would be very nice. If I can help in any way please ask.
I tried to build lots but failed mizerably. If you post HOW you did it I can help WRT segsaults

First note I'm using macports for the support libraries. I was using
homebrew up until a week ago and switched back to macports as it seems to
be more compatible with mythfronted compiling on a mac.

Here's the blackmagic I had to do to get it t compile. For the most part,
this should work in a zsh or sh script. Note there is one manual code fix
required (packaging/OSX/build/makebundle.sh). Also, it appears that my
case-sensitive filesystem caused issues on linking the "VideoToolbox"
framework (mythtv source has changed this incorrectly listed at
VideoToolBox). I've brute forced a sed command to fix the framework
reference. The main files that requires a fix is $SRC_DIR/libs/libmythtv/
libmythtv.pro.

You probably want to skip the fix I put in for VideoToolbox below.

# Step 1, install macports

# Specify mythtv version to pull from git
MYTHTV_VERS="fixes/31"

# setup the working directory structure
REPO_DIR=~/mythtv-31
mkdir -p $REPO_DIR

# setup mythtv source from git
cd $REPO_DIR
git clone -b $MYTHTV_VERS git://github.com/MythTV/mythtv.git
cd $REPO_DIR/mythtv
git clone https://github.com/MythTV/packaging.git
SRC_DIR=$REPO_DIR/mythtv/mythtv

# add necessary packages from macports
sudo port install pkgconfig qt5-qtwebkit qt5-qtscript qt5 yasm
libsamplerate taglib libbluray exiv2 lame x264 x265 openssl libxml2 gsed

# fix add of framework VideoToolbox in libmyth/libmyth.pro
# This may only be necessary in case sensitive file systems
grep -rli 'VideoToolBox' * | xargs -I@ gsed -i ''
's/VideoToolBox/VideoToolbox/g' @

# comment out filters in packaging (...I think they've been removed???)

# file is $REPO_DIR/packaging/OSX/build/makebundle.sh

# ...I don't have an automated way to do this yet, so comment out the
following line:

#74: make -C ../../filters INSTALL_ROOT=`pwd` install
>/dev/null

# add links to some of the macports packages
cd $SRC_DIR
ln -s /opt/local/include/samplerate.h

James, any luck getting mythfronted to compile and run?

I'm still running into segfault issues on playback which I suspect is an
artifact of my build environment.

https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3728

Here's a link to the forum post I started where Craig (pvr4me) has been
extremely helpful in helping to troubleshoot.

The forum post also has my latest build "script" that adds in support for
python and perl bindings and adds in a few macports components.

My backend machine went ping, so I spent days fixing it.
I am using the 30 build (mac frontend) where I struggled to get other than 1/4 size video on any size screen, but I will go there shortly

I just posted those links yesterday after I finally got a successful build
with no segfaults.

Has anyone used the app (besides me...) and can confirm it's actually
working? It "should" work with older versions of MacOS, I think down to
10.10 is what was stated in the compile logs.

John first thanks very much for all your work.

I built, on catelina using your latest build script. (yes it a PIA to keep having to say [y])
I get exactly the same error as my high sierra system, namely missing ff_codec_id_string. It is not trivial to skip as it occurs in many places.

I tried your dmg but get a pitch dark screen, not even the option of setup

There's now an ansible script to help reduce all of those yeses. It should
work but will need one patch file in its current state. Just let me know if
you go that route. Here's what you'll need to do for ansible (besides the
patch...).

sudo port -v selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated

sudo port install py38-ansible

sudo ansible-playbook-3.8 -i hosts.macports qt5.yml


Also, the build script is updated here in the second post (I had some
errors in the older versions):

https://forum.mythtv.org/posting.php?mode=edit&f=26&p=17935


What version of QT and Xcode are you using?

Can you send out your output from when you run the configure command? I'll
see if I can find any missing dependencies.

Also, try downloading and running these two .dmg's. These are the versions
I built off of my VM with a non-case sensitive filesystem with Xcode 10.3
and 10.4. Maybe one of them will make the black screen go away...

<https://www.dropbox.com/s/oupyorffvp0fop3/mythfrontend-31-xcode11.3.dmg?dl=0>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rps36drqo04frbk/mythfrontend-31-xcode11.4.dmg?dl=0


BTW, do you have an old .mythtv directory in your User folders? If so, it
might be worth archiving it and seeing if the compiled app comes up.

Good luck!!!!
John

I think the reason for the black screen could be related to the hard coded paths for the menu xml files, that certainly seems to be the problem that I’m having.

RThe regards,
Dave.

Dave, can you elaborate on which xml files? Happy to try to fix the
compiled version I've posted, just need some pointers on where to look.

Hi John,



Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush when I responded earlier today, this is what I get in the console when I try to start mythfrontend:

Thanks! I'll see if I can fix the issue in my next compiled version.
Looks like specifying an install dir caused some unintended pathing...

It looks like I missed the "--runprefix=../Resources" when calling
configure. Also makebundle did not copy the themes and i18n folders into
the app. I'm compiling now and hoping to post a new .dmg file up to
dropbox tomorrow morning.

Hi John,



That's fixed the menus, now all I need to do is figure out the right playback profile settings so that the video displays in full screen on my MacBook Pro Retina, rather than just taking up the bottom left quarter.

OK this dmg works - thank you

The video render that works (1/4 size vs full size) on 30 is opengl-rgba. That render is not availeable in John's 31 dmg so I'll look around (at how it's done)

I think this is the dmg for 30 that works

What you can do, but it's quite horrible, is have seperate gui and video sizes. Myth is fine but all other 'spaces' are messed up

This was an accident, I'd never try it but using the 30 dmg with renderer set to opengl-rgba I am watching full screen recordings on a 31 backend !!!

metadata lookup for both TV and Movie is working.

I'd post a picture but I am 100% certain that it is true.

I managed to find some settings that worked on my MacBook Pro, so very pleased with that.



Unfortunately this new frontend won't work on High Sierra on my (very) old iMac:



dyld: Symbol not found: _NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua

  Referenced from: /Applications/mythfrontend.app/Contents/MacOS/./../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore (which was built for Mac OS X 10.15)

  Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit

 in /Applications/mythfrontend.app/Contents/MacOS/./../Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore

Abort trap: 6
