MacPort 0.27 GUIs Stopped Working

Post by mr_tea »

The various GUI apps installed by MacPorts mythtv-core.27 stopped running recently (including mythfrontend, start/stop, setup, etc). Mythbackend is running fine as is access through mythweb. I don't know if this was caused by recent updates to related MacPorts packages or not.

Here is the tail of the mythfrontend logs:

Sorry, I don't follow.

Did you install via 'sudo port install mythtv-core.27'? And you did 'sudo port upgrade outdated' recently? Nothing has changed that should have broken Myth.

When you say the gui apps stopped running, are you talking about the Applescript helpers in /Applications/MacPorts/Mythtv.27 ? When you double-click one of those, what happens?

The log you provided isn't helping. It is from nearly a week ago? The program was started and ran for nearly 24 hours when it received an Abort signal. AFAIK, that's an external action that forces a running program to quit.

If mythbackend is still running, you should be able to start the frontend from the Terminal by entering 'mythfrontend'.

That'll teach me not to look at the dates on the logs.

Yes, the problem appears to be with the applescripts. Manually running mythfrontend from the command line works. Digging into it closer, it appears something has trashed my osascript environment.
