Hi Felix,

I think Remote Buddy is a great app, and have been exploring it for a few days now. I've noticed two errors in my console.log and system.log when I'm using the app, however.

The errors are: "May 30 23:11:12 Computer Remote Buddy: CGGStackRestore: gstack underflow." and "May 30 23:17:18 Computer Remote Buddy: doClip: empty path."

The "gstack underflow" seems to appear randomly when I sometimes bring up the Remote Buddy window.

The "doClip: empty path" appears about 30 times every second as I move about the iTunes Music Browser after going into any of the categories except Playlist. After doing this, "doClip: empty path" also appears about 15 times in the logs every time I switch between apps with Behaviours.

Neither of these seem to do anything besides fill up my console.log and system.log very quickly. This is a decent annoyance as I'm basically planning to use Remote Buddy with a Wiimote to control my Mac as an iTunes media center on my HDTV.

My system set-ups: Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3GHz, 3GB RAM, ATI X850XT with 2 displays, OS X 10.4.9, iTunes 7.2, Remote Buddy 1.0(Preview 15)RC2, Kensington USB Bluetooth 2.0+EDR dongle in an USB 2.0 hub, Wiimote

MacBook Core Duo 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9, iTunes 7.1, Remote Buddy 1.0(Preview 15)RC2, built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Wiimote

If you need more info, I'll be happy to help and thanks again for the great app!

Hello Michael,

thanks for the info.

While I know of the gstack underflow for some time now - and that it 
is usually also caused if more than one CGContextRestoreGState() is 
called per CGContextSaveGState(), I've been unable to find any 
unbalanced CGContextSaveGState() / CGContextRestoreGState() calls in 
my code, leaving me with the conclusion that this thing must be 
happening somewhere in Apple's code. It's absolutely harmless, though.

The doClip message was a bug where Remote Buddy called 
CGContextClipToPath() twice in a row - I've fixed that and it should 
no longer occur with the next version.

Best regards, 
Felix
