Etcher works on MAC, so you just need to make sure you are downloading the correct version.
You might need to right click and “save link as…”?
Hey everyone, I have Roon installed on the new Nuc. Everything is great EXCEPT I can’t seem to get the Codec issue correct. I have put a file into the Codec folder but i have a feeling it isn’t the right one. It still has a “?” on the codecs tab when i go into the web gui os page. When i go to dat/codec folder it shows the file I put in, but i am not sure i have uncompressed it correctly. the file I put into the folder is labeled “ffmpeg-git-amd64-static.tar.xz.cpgz” . I am not sure I know how to “uncompress” it anymore. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, again, for everything.

I am actually using a Mac and I think I need to find a different program to uncompress the file all the way. Thanks

I thought on MAC you could just double click the file and it would unzip it. Might have to do that twice?

Googled it:
To open and extract a tar.xz file on macOS, you can use the built-in
tarcommand in the Terminal. Here are the steps:
- Open the Terminal application on your Mac.
- Navigate to the directory where the tar.xz file is located using the
cdcommand. For example, if the file is in the Downloads folder, you can run:
cd ~/Downloads- Once you’re in the correct directory, use the following command to extract the contents of the tar.xz file:
tar -xJf filename.tar.xzReplace
filename.tar.xzwith the actual name of your tar.xz file.The
-xoption tellstarto extract the files, the-Joption specifies that the input is in the xz compression format, and the-foption indicates that the input is a file.
- The contents of the tar.xz file will be extracted to the current directory. You can then navigate to the extracted files using the
cdcommand.That’s it! The tar.xz file has been extracted, and you can now access the contents.
Or using finder:
Using the Finder:
- Open the Finder
- Double-click the .tar file
For whatever reason, it wasn’t that easy on my particular computer. BUT, I downloaded “unarchiver” and it worked. I am very close to getting to listen to my music. LOL. It’s been an adventure, but THANKS for all the help.
