MegaLogViewer on a MAC?

Post by imaplt »

I cannot seem to start MLV on my MAC. I launch it and it never starts. I have been moving the logs over to the PC and then viewing them from there. What version should I be using? I am on OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

Thanks!

Are you using TunerStudio on your MAC as well ?

What JRE do you have installed?

Just an FYI. When it started it reports that an update is available. I give it the ok and it downloads the Windows version that will not start of course. For now I am just going to decline the update.

I believe the trouble here is that the latest MLV is compiled to run with JRE 1.7+, but the newer OSX's will only let the bundled app run on a 1.6 JRE...

We need to update our OS X App bundles to the new way so it will use the newer JRE's.

However, as a work around you can run the current version by downloading the Linux version, extract it to where ever, then run it by double clicking the .jar file or running the .sh file.
Running the Linux version OS X will let it use the current 1.8 JRE and it will work fine, just doesn't have the normal OS X Application icon.
