VDMX macOS X 10.15 Catalina Update Guide

Hey all!

First follow up note here!

If you are trying to use FFGL and other 3rd party plug-ins that have not been notarized for Catalina, you may need to tell the system to allow VDMX to access them.

You may see a warning like this:

Solution

Check with the 3rd party developers to obtain updated plug-ins that are notarized for macOS 10.15.

VDMX will then load plug-ins that have been notarized by Apple.

Workaround

For older plug-ins that are not notarized, customers with Admin user privileges can remove the quarantine flag by using the following command if the plug-in is installed in the FreeFrame application plug-ins folder.

Example if plug-in is in the shared FreeFrame Plug-Ins location folder:

  1. Launch the Terminal application
  2. Enter the following command to confirm that the file is quarantined:
    % ls -l@ /Library/Graphics/FreeFrame\ Plug-Ins/< plug-in-name >/
    Note: replace with the actual name of the plug-in you need to correct
  3. Enter the following command to confirm tell the OS to ignore the quarantine: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Graphics/FreeFrame\ Plug-Ins/< plug-in-name >
