the tilde ("~") at the beginning is very important, and you don't actually include the "<" and ">"

@dmilligan thanks for the corrections.

When I add that command as you've written it into Terminal, I get back:

I'm far, far from being an expert, but I find it depends what you're filming and what 'look' you want to achieve. Personally, I use:
- shoulder rig for documentary style, particularly when the subject(s) are moving around a lot
- tripod for locked down or pans and tilts
- gimbal stabiliser for most other smooth movement

I've got the same 24-105 lens as you but have never used the IS, to be honest I'm not sure how it works and would worry it could affect my settings e.g. does it close down the aperture a few stops?

FYI, file paths are case sensitive.

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong. The error message: "nohup: ./mlvfs: No such file or directory" is a mystery. You can try actually launching MLVFS from the command line (like you did when you saw the help), but actually supply the required parameters:

Code Select Expand


~/Library/Services/MLVFS.workflow/Contents/mlvfs <mount point> --mlv_dir=<directory with MLV files>


where <mount point> and <directory with MLV files> are actual file paths (hint: drag and drop folders onto the terminal window will insert the file path for that folder at the cursor position)

@dmilligan I tried and got this:

@dmilligan sorry, missed out the 'ls' in the code.  When I include it, I get:

the executable should be located at: ~/Library/Services/MLVFS.workflow/Contents/mlvfs

in the terminal type

Code Select Expand


ls ~/Library/Services/MLVFS.workflow/Contents/


You can also run mlvfs from the terminal, if you do without arguments you should see the command line help:

download and install again, it looks like the actual mlvfs executable is missing (it should be inside the automator workflow package)

@dmilligan thanks.  Reinstalled OSXFUSE and MLVFS - same error as before, unfortunately

However, looking in my Library>Automator folder, I can't see anything that looks obviously MLVFS.  Doing a search on my Mac for 'MLVFS' doesn't bring up anything that looks like an executable file.  But then, neither can I find a MLVFS file on my other Mac, on which MLVFS works fine

It's a hidden file in your home folder.

Open the terminal and type

Code Select Expand


cat ~/.mlvfs.log


Try a different folder name. The name "dng" could potentially confuse MLFVS (b/c DNG files end in "dng".)

Hi @dmilligan Thanks for the tip on where to find the log.  Here's the contents:

I did try a different folder name, still the same error.

Thanks for your help with this!

Simon

The only time I experienced that error was when using an attached drive with characters or length of drive name that MLVFS didn't like. I renamed it to a one-word name and all was well.

Thanks for the tip, but I was using a folder I simply named "dng"

Post the contents of ~/.mlvfs.log

Thanks but I couldn't find such a log - I looked in Console.

This has been working for me just fine on a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

But with exactly the same files - and following the same install - on a 2013 Mac Pro OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 I get a "localhost:8000" error in Safari and the mounts don't appear

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Many thanks
