jit.openni external now ported to Mac OSx (native Kinect, no extra apps needed)

Fantastic! Thanks so much for this, both of you. Will start using it in the coming weeks.

hi ,
and thanks for all these things you're sharing ,
i don't know why it doesn't work for me .
i have just installed libusb-1.0.9.pkg and jit.openni 0.86MACOSX , and restarted computer .
but i still get this Max messages in the max window :

so it says library not loaded ,
could you tell me what i have missed ?
i'm also trying to get the answer by myself ...
i'm on MBP snow-leopard 10.6.8 , Max 6.0.8 .

thanx by advance , and thanks for your past posts too !

as explained here :
https://github.com/diablodale/jit.openni/blob/master/README
Mac OSx casually tested using:
- OSx 10.8.2, 10.7.2, and 10.6.8
- Max 6.0.7 for OSx
- libusb-1.0.9
- OpenNI 1.5.4.0 for OSx
- PrimeSense NITE 1.5.2.21 for OSx
- PrimeSense Sensor KinectMod v0.93 for OSx (based on 5.1.2.1)

Mac OSx install notes:
- run and install the libusb-1.0.9 package
- download and expand OpenNI
- sudo ./install.sh
- download and expand NITE
- sudo ./install.sh
- download and expand SensorKinect
- sudo ./install.sh

So you'll have to manually download and install :
- OpenNI-Bin-Dev-MacOSX-v1.5.4.0
- NITE-Bin-Dev-MacOSX-v1.5.2.21
- SensorKinect093-Bin-MacOSX-v5.1.2.1
(these files are NOT in the diablodale's github download folder ...)

after installing everything.. it works flawlessly :-)
Big, big thanks, Mr Diablodale & Stuart White for sharing this amazing work !

Mathieu

thanks Matthieu
i had seen these notes
but never managed to get the good installers ,
or instal the good way ....
because i'm too much a noob .

again and again Thanks to Diablodale and Stuart .
again

and this for the other noobs on planet earth :

there is a "one installer" solution :
http://zigfu.com/
just "download plugin" , install .

it's working here !
140fps !

now , tests
and fun (i hope)

Matthieu

Hello,
Sorry for insisting but it doesn't work or me here
neither the zigfu package nor the sudo intall

I installed as explained by Matthieu
Mac OSx install notes:
- run and install the libusb-1.0.9 package
- download and expand OpenNI
- sudo ./install.sh
- download and expand NITE
- sudo ./install.sh
- download and expand SensorKinect
- sudo ./install.sh

So you'll have to manually download and install :
- OpenNI-Bin-Dev-MacOSX-v1.5.4.0
- NITE-Bin-Dev-MacOSX-v1.5.2.21
- SensorKinect093-Bin-MacOSX-v5.1.2.1

under terminal the only errors i get is

DAVWS2:NITE-Bin-Dev-MacOSX-v1.5.2.21 generalh$ sudo ./install.sh

*** DONE ***
The other ones did it fine

I had all the targs in /Users/generalh/Downloads
could this be a problem?

So what is bugging???
Did i forget to install something?
So if anyone could give me a hint on it
MBP 10.6.8 Max 6.0.8
Thank you

Hi, thanks a lot for all your hard work on jit.openni. I'm very happy to see that you've made a mac port, so I can replace the sometimes buggy and crashy Synapse. However, I have a small problem getting it working...

OSX 10.7.4
Max 6.0.5

Installed the official openni-bin-dev-macosx-v1.5.4.0.tar.bz2
Installed the official nite-bin-macosx-v1.5.2.21.tar.bz2
Installed the official sensor-bin-macosx-v5.1.2.1.tar.bz2
Then realized that I need the avin one, so I uninstalled that, and installed SensorKinect093-Bin-MacOSX-v5.1.2.1.tar.bz2
Put the jit.openni and osc-route externals in the corresponding folder and the patch loads fine.

But when trying to open the XML file I get " XML config initialization open failed (Error!) "
did anyone else get this? Any idea what may be causing it?

Thanks a lot for any ideas.

generalh and kx, please open issues at https://github.com/diablodale/jit.openni/issues

Hey guys

Make sure to test your OpenNI/Nite install first by running one of the precompiled binaries included in the OpenNI package. A good one is Samples/Bin/x64Release/Sample-NIUserTracker. That will vet both OpenNI and the Nite libraries. It can be tricky to get a good install of all the items especially the MacPorts stuff. If the NIUserTracker works correctly launched out of the terminal, you should be good to go with jit.openni. I've run it in Max 5.18 as well as Max 6.07 in both osx 10.68 and osx 10.8.
One thing I've noticed on my own machines is that it can take up to 20 seconds for the XML file to load in correctly and get it up and running. The funny thing is it used to initialize in seconds, on that same machine.

I don't believe it's a problem with jit.openni, but more with something with OpenNI. When I gut out my full OpenNI install and do a clean one, it loads in seconds again. I'm going to try and nail down what is happening there, but it's not in jit.openni.

I guess my point of telling that story is if you get a spinning beachball, wait a minute or two and see if it eventually comes online.

Thanks for your reply diablodale. After upgrading to 10.7.5, uninstalling all the packages and reinstalling again, it's working. Not sure exactly why, but happy nonetheless.
