This affects me. I wanted to start contributing to OpenLP last December, but I wanted to install the dependencies using homebrew, rather than macports. Initially, I found that homebrew didn't have Python 3 versions for many dependencies, so I contributed some patches to homebrew to enable Python 3 support for pyqt, and a few other packages. However, although homebrew qt has phonon support, for some reason homebrew pyqt can't see it. Currently, I can install all required dependencies through homebrew and pip, but I can't get phonon to work.
Ideally, homebrew would fix phonon support upstream, but considering that phonon will be replaced in Qt5, it might be a good time to think about replacing phonon. Another option would be to create an alternative drop-in implementation which could be optionally activated if phonon is not found. It could use alternative Python media libraries. The soonest I can look into this is the July holidays, but at the moment it's the only issue stopping me from launching the dev version of OpenLP at the moment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenLP Core, which is subscribed to OpenLP. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224404 Title: OSX: OpenLP does not start without phonon Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software: New Bug description: There are some issues on osx to get phonon compiled properly and testers/developers might not have it. Phonon is an optional media backaned and I think that openlp should be able to start without that. Reproduce: - install python3 openlp dependencies on osx (as described in the wiki) - run current trunk with python3 and you will get traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "openlp.py", line 32, in <module> from openlp.core import main File "/Users/martin/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/__init__.py", line 33, in <module> import openlp.core File "/Users/martin/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/core/__init__.py", line 46, in <module> from openlp.core.lib import Settings, ScreenList, UiStrings, Registry, check_directory_exists File "/Users/martin/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/core/lib/__init__.py", line 393, in <module> from .renderer import Renderer File "/Users/martin/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/core/lib/renderer.py", line 37, in <module> from openlp.core.ui import MainDisplay File "/Users/martin/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/core/ui/__init__.py", line 86, in <module> from .maindisplay import MainDisplay, Display File "/Users/martin/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/core/ui/maindisplay.py", line 45, in <module> from PyQt4.phonon import Phonon ImportError: No module named 'PyQt4.phonon' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1224404/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openlp-core Post to : openlp-core@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openlp-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
