object file format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable #6

Closed thebitguru closed 8 years ago

@bluestarstudios, moving our conversation from #1 here.

I also get the crashing of RCD. Running OSX 10.8.5. Here's an interesting thing I noticed while running v0.8.3 of the patch:

Patching...
 + Killed any running processes.
 + Backed up the existing file as rcd_backup_0.8.3_201404141421.33
 + Patching...
    Successfully patched the file (found 1 instances at 28702).
 + Regenerating the code signature...
/System/Library/CoreServices/rcd.app/Contents/MacOS/rcd: replacing existing signature
/System/Library/CoreServices/rcd.app/Contents/MacOS/rcd: object file format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable
 + Successfully patched the existing file.

Thoughts?

Can you please send me the output of the following command? (note the star at the end).

md5 /System/Library/CoreServices/rcd.app/Contents/MacOS/rcd*

bluestarstudios commented 10 years ago

Yep! Here it is:

MD5 (/System/Library/CoreServices/rcd.app/Contents/MacOS/rcd) = 5b8a602d18f6d4c110f01880c4749058

Hmm... How about the output from the following command?

defaults read loginwindow SystemVersionStampAsString
bluestarstudios commented 10 years ago

Haha. Well it's very exciting:

10.8.5
bluestarstudios commented 10 years ago

Any ideas?

thebitguru commented 10 years ago

Sorry @bluestarstudios, I lost track of this issue. I am assuming you have probably upgraded to a newer version of OS X. Are you all set?

gs11 commented 10 years ago

Same issue here..

MD5 (/System/Library/CoreServices/rcd.app/Contents/MacOS/rcd) = 10c3faa8bbe52a95769bb414f5885fdf

thebitguru commented 10 years ago

@gs11 Can you share the output of the following command?

grep -ai itunes /System/Library/CoreServices/rcd.app/Contents/MacOS/rcd

gs11 commented 10 years ago

gs11 commented 10 years ago

I've verified that the patched file only differs from the original as 'tell' is replaced by '--ll'. This in the beginning of 'tell application id "com.apple.iTunes" to launch com.apple.iTunes'.

I just published a GUI version of the app that has much better detection and logging. Can you please try that? You can download it from http://www.thebitguru.com/projects/iTunesPatch. If you continue to have problems please paste the content of the log file (accessible through the report issue button) in this issue. Thanks!

Great job on this! I tested and it works. However it doesn't work when pressing "Play/Pause" on a bluetooth speaker. That still launches iTunes.

thebitguru commented 9 years ago

Hmm... what type of speakers do you have? I am guessing that it might have it's own driver or code that's launching iTunes.

bluestarstudios commented 9 years ago

It’s actually the BTS-06. It’s a standard bluetooth speaker. No installation or configuration needed.

hi @bluestarstudios, sorry, unfortunately, I likely won't get much time to work on the bluetooth related functionality.

I have created #29 to track this and I am looking for someone who can take on this work. Thanks!
