[HALF-SUCCESS] iTunes 12.7 constantly crashing (random messages)

[VioletDragon]

@VioletDragon do you also get thoise iTunes Crashes ? please?
If not we know that it has to do with not properly set up graphics (like mine)

Nope no Crashes with iTunes version 12.7. I use onboard IGPU. Probably the crash is caused by Graphics.

There are 2 crashes since last time resetting DRM. After crashing, can run iTune again and work fine, no need to reset DRM or reboot system, seems to be acceptable.

Previously, most of the crash reports were pointing to incorrect checksum, and more than 90% iTune could not be reopen, unless reset DRM or reboot.

Have you got full hardware encoding supported with your igpu? This is what causes my iTunes crash.

Hi sherlocks - All that you have described I have suffered with iTune but definitely fixed with method in post #165. My rig is running Mac model 15.1 and running macOS High Sierra released version (17A 405) no betas haven't tried with betas.

i tested. but no luck. i have two skylake system laptop and desktop.
my skylake desktop system never has itunes crash.
i3-6100 and hd 530 and nvidia gt710.

just happen on my skylake laptop(only hd 520, already full hardware encoding). this issue happen since high sierra DP1(june 2017)
i checked all parts(ACPI, binary, lilu with plugins) on my laptop. but no luck. its very random. sometime very stable. but after crash happen, itunes start unstable.

So far, still stable, lets test for longer time.

Hope that, it will be soon fixed, may be next beta version.

me too.

How do you enable hardware encoding support?

How do you enable hardware encoding support?

I get HD530 hardware support from using intelgraphicsfixup Lilu shiki kexts with shikivga=1 boot flag.

Bit as soon as I do this iTunes crashes. Stable without the Shiki bootflag.

There a full thread somewhere in graphics.

Stable without the Shiki bootflag.

No luck with shiki kext for me :
