cerfew Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'm using Snow 10.6.4 on on AMD using the Quoopz kernel. I've had this same issue for two cards, a 4350 and a 4670. In Itunes, if I select one of the quartz visualizers (Lathe, Jelly, or Stix), after about 15 seconds the visualizer freezes. If I click the mouse, it will advance a frame. Any other animation in iTunes stops as well, although other than that the program still works fine. Quitting and restarting iTunes lets the visualizer go for another 15 seconds. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/221705-quartz-visualizers-freeze/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

acasmc Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i'm using 4350 on SL 10.6.2 with iTunes 9.2. no such issue?? did you updated iTunes? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/221705-quartz-visualizers-freeze/#findComment-1496959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerfew Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've got newest iTunes, yeah. I've noticed that the only way iTunes finds the visualizers is if i put "Quartz Composer Visualizers.bundle" in /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/. (it might be /System/....) I've tried taking the individual visualizers from /System/Library/Compositions and putting them in various places, but no go unless the .bundle file is in the Plugins folder. Also, the visualizer works just fine in Quartz Composer.

cerfew Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Is this problem really that hopeless? I'm fairly certain that the crash is caused by the Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle. My guess is that file is sort of a "driver" to allow quartz compositions to be used as visualizers. Does anybody else on AMD have this problem?

cerfew Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Well {censored}. I found a CPUID.txt patch file, and it fixed the problem. Then iTunes started giving me problems about a corrupt library file. ( I share between OSX and Win7) So I reinstalled itunes, the problem came back, even after patching the cpuids again.

cerfew Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 It seems booting with cpus=1 is letting it run, maybe there is some problem with CPU core synch? I guess I'll just have to wait for Qoopz to release the next kernel.
