Error opening stream

[sean-flanagan]

Hey Karl, I am getting an error: failure in opening stream (ffffd8f2), on macOS.

Did you follow the instructions on how to capture audio on macos on the readme? What's your portaudio source name? Does it match the device name?

Hey Karl, I tried to—though having trouble with the config.c file. Not sure exactly where to place: Method = portaudio Source = “Soundflower (2 Ch)” Tried searching through the file but I’m very new to C!

config.c is not the config file, it's just the part of the program that reads the config file, it probably should be named something else.

the config file is just a plain text (ini) file.

read more about configuration in the readme:

Hi Karl, I am also facing the same issue.

Os: macOS Monterey 12.3.1
Arch : Intel
Package Installer: Brew

config-file location: $HOME/.config/cava

Error:

The sound flower is working as expected and was checked with the recipe mentioned for macOS configuration.

try the solution from #428:

As suggested, I reinstalled portaudio with "brew update && brew reinstall portaudio" and tried it. I am getting different results for running the command with and without the path for config file and both doesn't show the visualisation as indented.
$ cava

Output: stuck in the same state and no visual update.
$ cava -p ~/.config/cava

Output: Error opening stream with session broken.

The default config file is most likely somewhere else then

~/.config/cava

If the Privacy settings "Allow kitty to access microphone" dialog doesn't pop up it's going to the same issue again I guess. After building it from the source and installing it using the instructions specified in cava.rb , the os decided to pop up the dialog box. I did try to manually do this before posting the error today. Thanks a lot for visualiser Karl, I am onestep closer in finishing the ric3.

Output: The visualiser is working as expected. Thanks again !
