NowPlaying.app won't start on OS X 10.8.2, error: Trace/BPT trap 5

Hi there,

I was very happy with NowPlaying.app on previous installations of OS X, but on my freshly installed OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) it just won't start.

Starting it from command line gives an error:

---

$ /Applications/NowPlaying.app/Contents/MacOS/NowPlaying

Trace/BPT trap: 5

I hope this can be fixed soon, I really miss it. :)

Regards,

Eveline.

Bought a New Macbook; Application Wont open

Hi

I was using Now playing in my old macbook and I never had any problems
However, lately I upgraded and bought a new macbook with Retina Display
then I went to app Store and downloaded all my previous apps I had purchased that included the App Now-Playing

However after download it does not even open / work?
I deleted it and then downloaded agin and still same issue?

song title for radio stations if possible

Crash in 10.9

I downloaded the project. Created the iTunes.h file. But when I ran the app it crashed. I traced the crash to isLoginItem() in NowPlayingAppDelegate.m. Basically the "loginItems" object was nil and causes CFRelease() to crash.

So I replaced CFRelease(loginItems) with:

if (loginItems != nil) {
CFRelease(loginItems);
}

After that it worked fine.

The AppStore version dies so I assume it is the same problem.

Love this app - thanks!

Song name doesn't change

I can't find what causes it, but sometimes the song name doesn't change when the song changes, it just says the wrong name until you quit the app. The song name also doesn't disappear when you pause.

hide self until a song starts to play

delay the creation of menu bar item to until at least one song starts playing, should in most cases make the menu bar item stands leftmost in the menu bar

itunes won't close

Application Won't Open

Hey, I just downloaded this app onto my macbook pro and when I click it the app won't open. I tried deleting it and then re-installing it but same problem occurs. Any suggestions?

Regular Crashes

I haven't figured out what's causing it, but every now and then I'll look at my menu bar and see that NowPlaying isn't displaying a song title even though iTunes is playing a song.

When I mouse over it, it plays the beach ball and I realize it's crashed. I have to force-quit it from Activity Monitor and restart it to get it working again.

I'm using the latest App Store version on OS X 10.8.2 with iTunes 10.7 (21) 64-bit.

Is there anything I can do to help diagnose this? Are there logs or crash reports I could send in?

status item highlight

text should be white

Repeat Mode

I'd like to be able to select repeat/repeat 1/no repeat from a sub-menu in the menu.

count down option for duration field

previous artwork remains when switching to a track with no artwork

Running on El Capitan

I love this app and use it all the time. I downloaded the source and had to make a minor modification to fix a crash. But other than that it is working well on Mac OS 10.11.2 (El Capitan).

I'll assist with the maintenance of this app if you like (no charge). I can even upload it to the app store if you like.

Artwork

When I close then open the app, it doesn't remember that I turned album artwork off.

Break artist/song instead of scroll

I would LOVE the option to have the song title/song name break instead of scroll, as the scrolling atop my screen is distracting when trying to work. So, instead of scrolling, it would look something like this: "Artist - This is the name of a very long . . ."

option to customize maximum width before scrolling starts

scrolling is not working properly for certain songs
