Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'launch path not accessible'

[brooksc]

Thanks for creating this -- just tried running it and it fails though, any ideas?

Using MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G1114)

using binary from bin folder and received the error below. "-h" does show help output, but -l or --list fail. Xcode is installed and update to date.

xrecord -l

The same issue with almost all arguments, one way to avoid that exception is to set also -d

I actually had it working briefly with -d option! but now it just throws a segmentation fault...

Have you tried to do the device screen recording with the QuickTime Player only? Does it work smoothly?

[brooksc]

Yes, perfectly fine. I finally upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.6 and xrecord -l is still crashing
