The bridge process closed. about ezytdl HOT 11 CLOSED

It fine, also I will let you know I find you as one of my favorite developers. The app style is one of the best.

Unzipping the latest bridge-darwin folder gives this prompt, and moving it to the trash replicates the error that was happening previously.

huh.. i'll look more into this; i've never seen that issue before?? likely something to do with the compression

i finally have a reason to revive my macbook and look for that power cable!

from ezytdl.

sorry! haven't actually got around to getting the macbook working -- looking into it right now since i'm also being pressured into looking at it off of github too now 😎

from ezytdl.

yup, definitely can replicate this on my end. i'll try to get this fixed tonight before next nightly release!

from ezytdl.

awesome, thanks for confirming

from ezytdl.

i bring some good news!!

the issue has FINALLY been fixed.

_{i'm so sorry for not working on this sooner; i haven't been focusing much on development as of lately but i'm trying to organize my schedule properly so i can get back to this more :D}

there are no new builds for ezytdl with this bug! it was likely due to the compression that 7zip does which somehow made the binaries just unreadable i guess, not sure BUT i switched to the zip command that macOS itself provides and everything seems to work again on my side

DO NOTE that because of the nature of the app being single-threaded, it might be difficult to reach the settings page while you're being flooded with those "The bridge process closed" messages; the easiest way for things to just start Working again is by maunally removing the borked bridge files in a terminal by running rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/ezytdl/bridge-darwin -- doing this will force the app to download the latest version of the bridge since it has nothing to start :D

i'll close the issue for now since i'm 99% sure the issue has been fixed, BUT if it still has not been fixed for one of you i'll reopen it and debug further! please do let me know if it works though!

THANK YOU for being patient with me 💜💜

do you mean dev 209..? that's the latest version of the nightly builds there is -- if not, try updating to that.

please forgive me, I don't use a mac, so I'm going off of what I know here lol

try deleting the pybridge folder in the app data dir (linux: ~/.config/ezytdl/bridge-*; windows: %APPDATA%\ezytdl\bridge-*) and restart the app; this should give you a completely fresh install of the bridge.

My mistake, yes it's dev 209.

I'm not sure where the pybridge directory is in macOS, but I believe I've found it (screenshot attached) as it yields the same result as you describe, but deleting this still doesn't fix the issue.

from ezytdl.

hmm, very very odd. that does seem to be the right location!

can you try downloading the latest pybridge release, extracting it manually and placing it in the exact same directory? i'm wondering if this is another unzipping incompatibility that a nightly version had in the past

from ezytdl.

I can also say that it is happening on my end as well.
