====== xjadeo on OSX ======

[[xjadeo|Jack Video Monitor]] for Macintosh. 

OSXjadeo provides a native [[wp>Carbon_(API)|Carbon]] user-interface for [[xjadeo|Xjadeo]]. It's otherwise identical to the X11 versions((xjadeo offers multiple front-ends: xv, x11-imlib, SDL and carbon; a cocoa version is planned)). 

There's a quite a large collection of xjadeo features which are (in the style of Apple) not easily accessible from the GUI; however most extra-features can either be configured in ''$HOME/.xjadeorc'' or accessed with [[http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/ar01s03.html#interaction|keyboard-shortcuts]]; more info below.

prerequsites:

===== Example Usage ===== 
  - start JACK
  - launch Jadeo and open a video-file
  - press 'space' to start playback; 'backspace' to rewind. 

[X]Jadeo only plays video, no audio!  You are supposed to provide the soundtrack:
  - press 'a' to keep Jadeo **A**lways on top of other windows (not required but handy).
  - start [[http://ardour.org|ardour]] - and set it's transport to ''JACK'' (the pull-down above the ''time-master'' button right of the clock).
  - set ardour's Timecode-fps to match your video-file (Options -> Sync -> Timecode-fps).
  - edit the soundtrack in ardour.
 
===== Building xjadeo from source on OSX =====

xjadeo's [[http://xjadeo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xjadeo/trunk/|source-code]] includes a script to compile and create a DMG on a Mac. Apart from Apple's [[http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/|Xcode]] it requires a few build-dependencies to be present: [[http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/|pkg-config]], [[http://www.freetype.org/|freetype]], [[http://ffmpeg.org/|ffmpeg]] and of course JACK((http://jackosx.com/ includes the development headers)). ffmpeg itself has quite some additional prerequisites; and building Jadeo can be quite a task. 

===== Further Notes =====

If the monitor window has focus xjadeo allows [[http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#interaction|user-interaction via keyboard]] . The Linux-version //outsources// the GUI via remote-control. A standalone application //qjadeo// provides an independent user-interface controlling a running xjadeo instance.

This concept is somewhat against //Mac style//. So while porting xjadeo, a Menu-Bar got included that indirectly uses the remote-ctrl interface. The GUI has some remaining ToDo (eg. remember recent files, preference dialog, etc); in the meantime you can store preferences or override default-settings in ''$HOME/.xjadeorc''.
