No vinyl control in 1.10 from the website, is this a bug?

[Warrior Bob]

Hi everyone, I ran into a problem with Mixxx 1.10 and am not sure if I found a bug or not.

Short version:For me, vinyl control is disabled in 64-bit but not 32-bit Mixxx on OSX. I've replaced the App Store version with the website version; so what's going on?

Longer version with more details:
I decided it was time to try out vinyl control in Mixxx for OSX. I had previously downloaded Mixxx 1.9 from the Mac App store, and I understand from this Pegasus post that vinyl control is disabled in the app store version. I followed the instructions in that post and trashed the App store version of Mixxx, then went and downloaded 1.10 64-bit from Mixxx.org.

Unfortunately the same problem showed up - in preferences, vinyl control was disabled. Thinking that this was a configuration issue, I trashed the Mixxx 1.10 app, as well as the ~/.Mixxx folder and the Preferences/Mixxx and Application Support/Mixxx folders in /Library and ~/Library. as far as I know, that should clean up all traces of Mixxx.

I redownloaded and reinstalled Mixxx 1.10 from the website, but same problem - vinyl control is disabled. I tried looking through the source but I don't speak C++ very well so I didn't have any luck finding out why this was happening.

On a lark, I tried downloading and installing the 32-bit version from the website, and upon launching it and opening preferences, I saw that vinyl control was enabled and sure enough, I was able to get it to work fantastically with some Serato vinyl.

So, the question is - did I find a bug? Should I be filing a bug report? It seems like this is unintended behavior but I want to rule out any mistakes I might've made before I go claiming there's a problem with the code. I looked through the FAQ, this forum, the manual, and Google, but I didn't see anything that seemed to match what I found, but of course I might've missed it.

Many thanks!

Sounds to me like a bug, so please file one so we don't forget about this. Vinyl control should definitely be enable-able on first run. My guess is that the 64-bit version on our web site might have just been accidentally built as an App-Store package.

Alright, I'll file one next time I'm at the computer in question (probably tonight or tomorrow morning).

Thanks as always for the help, Pegasus It's guys like you who keep this kind of software awesome.

For all people facing the issue, please make sure you download Mixxx 1.10.0 (OS X 10.5+ 32-bit) from mixxx.org/download.php and NOT Mixxx 1.10.0
(OS X 10.5+ Universal) which has vinyl control disabled. That means vinyl control is currently not available for PPC user.

Sorry about that, we`ll working on a repack.
