Mac M1 bug?

pim

Our python plugin does not seem to work on the new M1 Mac's with the new hardware chip in it. The plugin works on all other Mac's (and pc's) without any issues.

Our user reported this issue on a MacBook M1 Pro Max using the latest version of C4D.
Our support team confirmed the same issue when using Mac M1 and MacBook M1.
Apparently one of the libraries is not functioning correctly.

The plugin TGS Texture Manager is initialized, but when creating icons, we get below error.
What can we do to solve this?

Here the output from the console, which does not give me much information.

I found a workaround given by Maxon.
https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/articles/4419835016466-Cinema-4D-R25-current-known-limitations-on-M1-Mac

'Currently, you can run Cinema 4D in the Rosetta mode on M1 systems, to use it.'

Looking at the first error message, I wonder, if this is just a Python 3 issue, where urlretrieve seems to be located in urllib.request module? On the other hand maybe that error is completely unrelated...

Hi beside the urlretrieve error highlighted by Andreas, the second one is an issue related how you deal with CoreMessage, you need to adapt your code to Python 3, see this topic.

But so far I don't see any M1 related error in your logs.
If you still have an error, please share your code, if you don't want to make it public you can send it to us at [email protected].

Cheers,

We have this error only on Mac M1 machines. Not on PC or none M1 mac's.
We also changed the code earlier, but I will double check.
And yes, I do thinkg that the first error message is urlretrieve not related to this issue.

I changed the code from

                pythonapi.PyCapsule_GetPointer.restype = c_void_p  
to
                pythonapi.PyCapsule_GetPointer.restype = c_int

here the 'full' code

                P1MSG_UN = msg.GetVoid(c4d.BFM_CORE_PAR1)
                pythonapi.PyCapsule_GetPointer.restype = c_int           # c_void_p            
                pythonapi.PyCapsule_GetPointer.argtypes = [py_object]
                P1MSG_EN = pythonapi.PyCapsule_GetPointer(P1MSG_UN, None)

There is no difference, still not working.
On other Mac's and PC's it is working.

What to do?

Hi @pim please try to provide us a minimal code to reproduce the issue otherwise we can't really do more to investigate the issue.

if you don't want to make it public you can send it to us at [email protected].

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Maxime.
