Avidemux Forum

Installed Command Line tools, Homebrew...
I followed Macvided's example above and was able to compile and run Avidemux on my M1 Mac Studio, but with OpenGL as the setting for Display->Video Display, all I get is a blank screen for the video.  If I set Video Display to QT it displays the video correctly. The audio displays fine with either setting.

What did I miss?

Thanks,

OpenGL display is broken with Qt6 >= 6.4.0, no idea how to fix yet. For macOS where using older Qt, especially Qt5, is impossible, the unaccelerated "Qt" / "RGB" display the only remaining option.

By the way, this is also the reason there is no 2.8.2 release.

I had to also install pkgconf with homebrew before compiling.

First I created a case-sensitive volume, then using the process in Darren's post 18 above:

Code Select Expand

cd /Volumes/Developer
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git
cd /Volumes/Developer/avidemux2

git submodule update --init --recursive

brew install cmake nasm yasm qt xvid x264 x265 libvpx aom opus fdk-aac lame libass mp4v2 a52dec

bash bootStrapMacOS_Monterey.arm64.sh

Then open the dmg, and install the app to /Applications, and finally run the signing script.

Code Select Expand

sh avidemux/osxInstaller/macos-adhoc-sign-installed-app.sh

Thanks everyone that's worked on this!

No need to run signing script manually, it is invoked automatically during packaging now.

Will look into pkg-config not installed automatically and thus missing in the list of dependencies.

Fixed by this commit, haven't noticed any performance degradation on macOS. Please pull the latest changes into your local git clone and redo the build, OpenGL display should be fine now.

Yep, works!  Thank you!
