Decklink input is not found / 'atomic' file not found

[DSohl]

Hey, gang-
I ran brew upgrade today, which seems to have impacted Vrecord and ffmpeg. Now, when I try to record or pass-through, I get

≈:≈ vrecord -p
2024-11-12 16:32:27.858 defaults[2730:14928] 
The domain/default pair of (/Library/Extensions/DeckLink_Driver.kext/Contents/Info.plist, CFBundleVersion) does not exist
 2024-11-12T16:32:29 - The decklink input is not found.

I unlinked and relinked ffmpegdecklink, and then uninstalled and reinstalled ffmpegdecklink per issue #729 which gives me the following:

Playing Atomic Dog did not help. Does anyone have suggestions?

hey @DSohl have you updated xcode command line tools recently?

instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42538171/how-to-update-xcode-command-line-tools

For future travelers, here's a version-agnostic approach. First, run softwareupdate --list. This will probably take a couple of minutes. When it's done, you'll see a bulleted (with an asterisk) output like this:

$ softwareupdate --list
Software Update Tool

Finding available software
Software Update found the following new or updated software:
   * Command Line Tools (macOS High Sierra version 10.13) for Xcode-10.1
        Command Line Tools (macOS High Sierra version 10.13) for Xcode (10.1), 190584K [recommended]
Find the bullet that refers to the Xcode command line tools. Copy that entire line (except the asterisk...). In the above case, you would copy:

Command Line Tools (macOS High Sierra version 10.13) for Xcode-10.1

Then, run the install command (as shown by Brendan Shanks) with what you copied inside quotes:

softwareupdate -i "Command Line Tools (macOS High Sierra version 10.13) for Xcode-10.1"

Hi, @bturkus - I appreciate the suggestion of using softwareupdate. While it's true that I hadn't done it, apparently there's no new software available. So that seems to be a dead end.

@DSohl just to clarify, did you unlink/relink decklinksdk before you reinstalled ffmpegdecklink? (Above it says you did the relinking on ffmpegdecklink, not the SDK but wondering if that was a typo).

Command Line Tools for Xcode is on version 16.1
Is there another version of Xcode or dependency to be installed? We are going to try installing Xcode from the apple store and see if that fixes anything

ffmpegdecklink is identified as missing

Then when I try to install ffmpegdecklink it comes back with this error similar to @DSohl

This is what appears when I run vrecord

≈:≈ vrecord

I have run both brew reinstall fontconfig & brew reinstall x264. Both seemed to run smoothly, but then when I try to run Brew install vrecord or Brew install ffmpegdecklink it still stalls at ffmpegdecklink and ends with the error

[DSohl]

@privatezero that was, indeed, miswording on my part. I meant that I unlinked and relinked decklinksdk

At least vrecord isn't exiting a form in an unexpected way (sorry, @EmCNabs)

[RDostaly]

Hi @DSohl and @EmCNabs

I had some problem here, on a computer running macOS 14.7.1 w/ xcode 16.1
I got things working by uninstalling and reinstalling xcode command line tools:

1. sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
2. xcode-select --install
3. brew reinstall amiaopensource/amiaos/ffmpegdecklink
4. brew install vrecord

let me know fi this works for you too!
