Sandy 3 Report post Posted June 14, 2022 Running 4.0.0 (8526) on an Intel 2018 (i7) Mac mini with the beta OS, eyeTV crashes saying it is unable to find the library /System/Library/Frameworks/FWAUserLib.framework/Versions/A/FWAUserLib. Interestingly, I'm unable to find a file at that path under Monterey either. Hope this isn't the end of the road for eyeTV on Mac. NB No, I've not bothered to submit a bug report as it appears Geniatech don't read them anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2022 Additional information is that the missing library relates to firewire audio interfaces. Also the specific mentioned file doesn't exist at that path in Monterey, the framework itself does exist. But not in Ventura (beta 3). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LachNed 1 Report post Posted July 29, 2022 Short update... I found that folder on an old EyeTV installation on my old Media Mac mini... But unfortunality I'm not able to copy that folder into my system library... Can somebody tell me how? Or give me some support? If somebody needs that folder to test it first, please let me know Thank you LachNed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LachNed 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) please feel free to try that zipped folder it contains the complete folder and subfolders from Library/Frameworks... FWAUserLib.framework.zip Edited July 30, 2022 by LachNed 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 3 Report post Posted July 31, 2022 Frameworks in the System Library folder are not user editable. However my guess is by virtue of the way Unix works, you should be able to put it either in your /Library folder (i.e. as opposed to /System/Library) or in your home folder Library. I've not tried it myself but think I'll give it a go in the coming days. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rened 20 Report post Posted August 1, 2022 I make a workaround for the missing FWAUserLib library in Ventura 1 install version 8528 of eyetv4 (https://file.geniatech.com/eyetv4/EyeTV4.0.0_8528.dmg) 2 Extract Framework "FWAUserLib.framework.zip" in your Downloads folder 3 write the following script and exec it.

LachNed 1 Report post Posted August 1, 2022 Hi rened, that sounds perfect... ...but how can I write and run your script? I tried to paste your script into the Script-Editor (from the tools folder). But when I try to run the script it runs into a syntax error in the second line ... or do I have to use Terminal? I know that these are "greenhorn" questions... but I'm not a coder... Thank you for any help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rened 20 Report post Posted August 1, 2022 Hi LachNed, Yes, this is a shell script and you must use Terminal. Use Textedit in format menu choose "Convert to text" copy and paste the text between the lines from safari to the textedit window and save to a file "patch" in Downloads folder. Be sure to have the version 8528 of EyeTV in Applications folder and Framework unzipped in Downloads directory Open Terminal type "cd Downloads" and key enter type "zsh ./patch" and key enter You will have first a windows "verify" with incremental line and you will see some errors messages in the terminal window about the missing library and then security windows asking confirmation.

rened 20 Report post Posted August 1, 2022 No it is the root password, it is yours (sudo command need your password) But as i see the messages you send to me , you need type sudo zsh ./patch and type your password Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rened 20 Report post Posted August 2, 2022 Hi LachNed, Sorry for my last message which is not clear. There is no need of root password. The first account which is created by "MacOS install" has admin rights via the "sudo command" which only need that you retype the password of this account to validate the start the command argument with admin rights. ( it is your password except if you have created after MacOS install another account without admin rights : see "System Settings"/ "Users & Groups" the account must have Admin below it ) You must to start the script "patch" with sudo because you are not the owner of the app EyeTV by typing "sudo zsh ./patch" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LachNed 1 Report post Posted August 3, 2022 It looks like that I'm not smart enough to follow your advices. Do I need to type your additions after or before your initial script? It would be great if you can provide a script including all updates from you, that I can copy into a text file and run it with Terminal Thanks a lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 3 Report post Posted August 3, 2022 27 minutes ago, LachNed said: Do I need to type your additions after or before your initial script? My guess would be to run them after the script. I'm thinking they would be run after the script as my understanding is the script puts the files into the appropriate places on the computer, then the code sign additions (the commands we're talking about here) make the files acceptable to GateKeeper. At which point the very last line is opening the programme (alternatively open in Finder as you normally would). I'd also like to add that the lines beginning with the hash(#) aren't required (being comments) in case you were tempted to add them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
