solved: Cannot start Arena any more

Post by p8guitar »

I re-installed Arena, now it works again!

--------------------------------------

Arena crashes at startup. A file 'libavfilter.7.dylib' is not found. I see there is only a file 'libavfilter.8.dylib.
I don't understand the reason for this problem - I didn't do any updates or so, last week Arena still worked well.
Using MacOS 12.6.8 and Arena 7.13.2.

I get this message:

Re-installing your version should fix it indeed.
We're working on this. Seems to happen when different version Resolume apps are installed, so keep in mind to upgrade Resolume software together.

I didn't renew my license, so the Arena version ist frozen at 7.13.2. What about Alley, this is also version 7.13.2 at the moment (due to the re-install of Arena?!?). Should I update to 7.16.0 or not?
Or what do you mean with different Resolume apps, only different Arena versions?

Our apps use shared libraries, so if you install a newer Alley that will break Arena/Avenue/Wire.
7.17 will be built differently and you will be able to have different versions installed at the same time.
7.17 will also bring awesome new stuff ;)
