Each time I launch SlingPlayer for Mac it tries to auto connect to the slingplayer and then just automatically shuts down. The only way to keep it from shutting down is to "Stop" the connection attempt. Still after doing that I was taking a look at my preferences and while looking through some of them it just automatically shut down again. I'm on a G5 iMac running 10.4.8. Help!

Have you configured your Slingbox and updated to the latest firmware? Run the setup assistant directly from the Finder and fully configure your box.

Well I'm at work and the slinbox is at home. Can I do that remotely? I imagine I can't particularly since I can't even seem to connect to the box. It also is working perfectly fine on my Windows Mobile Player.
Hi I am getting the same results. The Slingplayer and the Assistant both crash on startup. It's happening on both my mini and my powermac G5
Here is the output that I get when I start the player via the command line
./SlingPlayer
SMCABINET VERSION: 1.0.21
SBProfile VERSION: 1.0.8
Could not create AsfDemux library bundle
It seems to be related to when the player tries to connect to the Slingbox. I have been able to get the SlingPlayer started by disconnecting the Slingbox from the network. It also works if I start the player on a remote network as well.
So details of my environment:
OS version: 10.4.8
SlingboxPro with 1.0.1(09/24/06) firmware. (Hardware Ver. 1.34.0)
One thing that seems odd is this:
file /Applications/SlingPlayer.app/Contents/Library/ASFDemux.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ ASFDemux
ASFDemux: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures
ASFDemux (for architecture ppc): Mach-O bundle ppc
ASFDemux (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386
Yet if I try to start it on the command line I get this error.
bash: ./ASFDemux: Bad executable (or shared library)
Finally:
/Applications/SlingPlayer.app/Contents/Library/ASFDemux.bundle/Contents/MacOS kalkocz$ otool -L ASFDemux
ASFDemux:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Carbon (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 128.0.0)
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.4.0)
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.1.3)

Algonquin, United StatesI know it sounds "Windozy" but try uninstalling the program. Delete your preferences when uninstalling and then restart your machine. Then run the installer again. CharlesK, you have the latest Pro firmware so it's not that. And things should run fine on your G5. Just humor me and try that.
Also, why are your trying to start it via the command line???

Ahh!
It was the dreaded Case issue! I have case sensitve file system.
So I did the following:
mv ASFDemux.bundle AsfDemux.bundle
And it works!
Good Catch looks like we will need a new beta build?
Yay! I can now turn off my all my Windoze boxes.
Can we get a version of that solution for the non-tech people (me.)
Sure!
But this is a work around till Sling fixes the installer. Which I imagine they will shortly. Also, I suspect they will add this to the FAQ is short order.
In a non techy way to fix this for now is open your finder click on Applications select the Slingplayer application. And either right button click or (if you don't have a right mouse button do "control + mouse click"
A menu will pop up select Show Package Contents
A new finder window will pop up click Contents folder --> then Library folder
At this point you should see two icons in your finder window a SBIL.bundle and ASFDemux.bundle
Press the "Return" key and rename the icon from "ASFDemux.bundle" --> to "AsfDemux.bundle"
That should do it.
Of course a soft link would be better, but I personally don't know how to create a softlink in the finder. I tried making an alias but that does not seem to be the same thing.
Does any one else know how to make a soft link via the find GUI?
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately this didn't work for me.

Algonquin, United StatesThis issue is surprising as it doesn't show up for everyone. I've installed plenty of times and not had this...

I have had a series of kernel panics since installing Sling Player for MAC (running Tiger on a 12" Powerbook G4). It started sporadically and was intermitant (and I don't think ever when Sling Player was actually running). This week end the panics came constantly on start up with no ability to log on at all. I removed the additional memory and now get about 20 minutes of time before shut down. I also tried uninstalling the software (to the best of my ability) to no avail. Anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?
