[Request] Mac OS X support
chrisidefix opened this issue · comments
Any idea if this could also work on OS X (it doesn't right now)? I am not familiar with dbus or the other requirements used, so my question is more conceptual.
I did try it on Mac OS X, but got the error below:
(I am using VLC 2.2.2 - should that technically be working?)
Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoMemory: Not enough memory

Currently, it is not supported on Mac. I don't have a mac, so, did not really prioritize it.
I have used dbus for communicating with vlc player which is available on Linux.
I am planning on supporting WIndows, for which I'll have to communicate with vlc using its web interface / telnet interface. Once, that is done, technically, it should work on Mac as well.
will the windows supporting version released by this month...
