NLite for Mac

[sub]

I've had a nlite client for the Mac for a couple of years, but I'd never packaged it up and released it (because I know nothing about packaging Mac apps). I was using it over the weekend and thought I really should try to make it available.

So if someone has got a Mac and want to help me see if it works, you can download the image from https://nextpvr.com/nlite.dmg

To use it, just open the dmg file, and click on the nlite executable. With any luck you should see the familiar NextPVR interface a few seconds later.

Gave it a go, got "no mountable file systems" when double clicking the dmg. I'm not a Mac expert, so may be operator error. Dunno.

Thanks for the giving it a go - not really sure why you'd get that message. I did a quick google on possible causes, but it's not really any clearer. We'll see if others encounter the same error.

I might need to do a bit more reading on how to package up Mac apps.

No luck here (2 months before I have to hand my Mac back I might add, having asked for this 2 years ago!!)

I first had to tell it to "open anyway" as it is from an ungrecognised developer and block by default on my machine

Thanks for giving it a go. Can you try http://nextpvr.com/nlite.dmg again? I've updated it to include the SDL framework in it.

Same "no mountable file system" on the 29/30 May version. I'm on El Capitan 10.11.6. Found this, does it make any sense:

Or it might be an app store issue?

I also tried the command line hdiutil, but got the same error.

no change - same error. It's the new version as I have the SDL folders within Framework
for giggles I tried to run the SDL2 file

$ /Volumes/binaries/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Versions/A/SDL2 ; exit;
-bash: /Volumes/binaries/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Versions/A/SDL2: cannot execute binary file

I'm seeing the same error on a 10.13.3 macbook.

I no next to nothing about using a mac though, despite having this one lying in the office for occasional testing of our software, but happy to help where I can...

If anyone wants to have a go at getting this working (and can open the dmg) let me know. I am very new to a Mac but I can see some issues that I think I can work around.

I can give it a try but not sure what you mean by open the dmg. I just tried again and got the "no mountable file systems" error. I'm Mac ignorant, so not familiar with the terminology. dmg = disk image? Can be mounted as a separate (from the installing system) file system? Can be unpacked like a Windows install file?

I might be of no help.

BTW, El Capitan 10.11.6. Too old?
