Eqmac: Problems with 2.2 version

[grabowskiw]

I use eqMac 2.2 for few months and when I started using this I have a big problem.

When I have eqMac turned on and I'd like to watch something (on YouTube or Netflix - on Safari) the film duration bar moves to the end. On YouTube it looks for example like the movie lasts 3:00 and the slider goes fast to the end and the duration bar shows 5:05:30 / 3:00 (It's example, but always it shows few hours). I have to refresh few times the tab.

Is it happening only for me? It makes me very upset, cause when I want to watch a series on Netflix I have to back to the list and choose again the same episode. Fix this app or I will uninstall this.

Never saw something like that.
I've been using eqMac2 around 2 years.

Same situation here. The duration bar sometimes jumps to the end when listening songs.

Btw I don't think you should "order" the author in this way. This is a free and open-source app. Help or wait with respect.

Same issues here. EqMac2 version 2.2, OS X Mojave 10.14.3. Audio via DisplayPort of Sapphire RX580 -> speakers of LG 43ud79

Sometimes the app can work good for days, sometimes these issues appear and they get very persistent and annoying.

Hey everyone. Excuse me for the lack of updates. I have been really busy on the new version of eqMac. I am happy to announce an open beta release.
You can download it here: https://eqmac.app
There are a lot of known bugs that I could not fix just yet:

• Driver not installing from the first try. Sometimes need to restart eqMac a couple times.
• Complex Device switching logic is not perfect (for example when switching off the device that's currently playing, plugging in new device etc.)
• UI takes long to load (a lot can be done to improve that)
• UI dimensions are not synching properly
• There's a noticeable audio delay in the playback, so not suitable for video yet (I know where the problem lies just haven't had the time to fix yet)
• Sometimes the playback doesn't start, in that case please try to switch the output to the device you want and eqMac should try and build the audio pipeline again.

So as you can see there's still some work to be done but at least it's a completely modern tech stack that I am fully willing to work on: 100% Swift, User Space driver and a Web UI, instead of C++, Kernel Drivers. As I said, should work on Catalina and should not have any pesky ear drum blasting volume bugs (at least I didn't come across any).
I'm open to feedback and issue reports here: https://github.com/bitgapp/eqmac
That repo will become the main repo for eqMac and this repo will be archived eventually.
And yes it's called just eqMac, not eqMac3 :) And it will stay that way forever.

Hey everyone 👋
I will be open sourcing the new version of eqMac, therefore, I am closing this issue and repository as I will be transfering nodeful/eqMac2 repo to bitgapp/eqMac
Please bear with me for the next couple of days as I setup that new repo. The eqMac2 code will be living in the old-eqMac2 branch if anyone is interested in referencing it for whatever reason.
Please try out the new version and report bugs to the new repo.
Thanks for using eqMac.
