Mac OS Yosemite is in the house, but “brew” leaves?

Recently I got an undefined error "0", using brew 0.9.5: /usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0 I really do not know, why it is Ruby 1.8 (it is very old) being used here, but typing "ruby -version" leads to the fact, that we currently run Ruby of Version 2.0. So fixing this is pretty simple: 1. Open this file: "/usr/local/Library/brew.rb" (may depend, where exactly you have installed brew to -> see the error message!) 2. Edit the 1st line (replace 1.8 with your current version -> mine = 2.0)…

Mac OS: deploying Unity 3D application on Android 4.x causes “zipaling” Error

Do not know why, but Google is not paying enough attention at their latest SDKs. They changed file and folder structure without spending any notice. So if you are running into Error messages that contain keywords like "zipaling" you need to move the "zipalign" binary, or any other binaries to their origin folder. 1. Maybe the "zipalign" file is now located at ../sdk/build-tools/android-4.x.x/ If this is the case please move it to ../sdk/tools/ 2. If "zipalign" is not located at ../sdk/build-tools/android-4.x.x/ use this one HERE-zipaling.zip and extract and save it at the ../sdk/tools/ folder

SoftCam OSCam example of CAIDs and their usage with OSCam

Content of your oscam.conf file # protocols [newcamd] port = 15000@1702:000000;15001@1833:000000;15002@09C4:000000; 15003@098C:000000;15004@1830:000000;15005@0B00:000000; The Ports are necessary for EyeTV/eyetvCamd/OSCam to know how to communicate with each other. The example line above show us how to access for example Sky.de(15000-15003) HD+(15004) and MTV(15005) cards. If you switch to one of these providers in EyeTV keep in mind that you need to select the according CAID in eyetvcamd to tunnel the port initially. You can get the latest CAIDs  HERE

Mac OS USB Pendrive Installation has never been easier since Apple!

Apple finally found out that in some cases it'll be a lifesaver to have an OS installation medium :) So they finally integrated a nifty OS X Mavericks USB Pendrive Creator Tool called "createinstallmedia" which can be found within your Mavericks Image file: First download the latest copy of Mavericks from Apples Appstore and type in the following command into your MACs terminal prompt: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/<PATH TO YOUR USB PENDRIVE> --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/ --nointeraction

SoftCAMonitor Update! Bug fixes and OSCAM integration

This package contains all the relevant software to get your EyeTV + OSCam setup running with ease. The only thing you need to do is: edit the oscam.* configuration files. Further instructions can be found in the Readme file. Moreover I provide an installer script that automatically places all the files correctly (64Bit). Basically I would like to advice you to: 1. Edit the configuration files correctly. [Basically you only need to edit the <todo> sections, if you want to use oscam as client ] 2a. Start the installer script if you are on 64Bit OSX. [Run the script within the file's folder]…

Mac OS pyQt 4.x or 5.x: Solving typical problems (ImportError: No module named PyQt4)

Installation: brew install pyqt Open up terminal and check: 1. "which python" -> Wrong: /usr/bin (Apple) -> Right: /usr/local/bin (brew) 2. "brew doctor" 3. "export" Setup your PATH correctly to /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin -> export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH Usage: I would recommend using QtCreator to setup a drag and drop User Interface (*.ui) File. Afterwards  we must compile the UI-File into python code (wrap it): pyuic4 mainwindow.ui -o mainwindow.py If you have a Resource File QRC- File too you have to previously do: pyrcc4 mainwindow.qrc -o mainwindow_rc.py Keep in mind to replace the names according to your filenames ;) so... pyrcc4 <resourcefilename>.qrc…

Alias vs. Rsync vs. SSH

A small nifty script, to sync any folder on a local machine to a remote server, and running any command to be executed at the server e.g. in a specified folder alias sync="cd <foldertosync@local> && rsync -avP --progress -e ssh <foldertosync@local> <username>@<serveraddress>:<foldertosync@server> && ssh -X <username>@<serveraddress> -t \"cd <foldertosync@server>; bash --login\""
