That's great news. Hopefully it all gets sorted out soon. I have a TCL tv and it seems it ONLY likes playing content thru TSMuxer thru it's media player app when using UMS for some reason. I had to download a different app. So glad I can go back to UMS when all of this is sorted out.

If you want to be able to use tsMuxeR sooner, I think you can just install those dependencies yourself, like:

Code: Select all

brew install freetype
brew install zlib
then it should work

I installed the new version but I'm still getting that tsmuxer fails to start. Is there something I should do? I already removed it and deleted the app just in case and then reinstalled it but it still does that.
Edit: I'm getting this error.
"Transcoding engine tsMuxeR Video is not available because it failed with exit code 126."

Edit: I upgraded my OS as I'm on Big Sur 11.5.2

It looks like a permission problem this time, I think I know what went wrong, I'll make you a test build

Installed over the current install and still gives that error 126 and fails to start. Gonna try to remove the app and reinstall and see if that helps.

Are you able to try the latest tsMuxeR build directly? https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/releases

Would I just copy that or run it? I have no knowledge of using TSmuxer directly thru mac. Only thru this program.

If you go into your Applications directory and right-click on UMS, and click "Show package contents", you should be able to find tsMuxeR and tsMuxeR-new in a Resources directory and replace it with any version. It's likely the "tsMuxeR-new" one you need to replace, so just rename the file you downloaded too
