Don + Mac guys

I've done some deep hacking and finally got the 2.5 plug-in to work correctly but with a few major catches...  I'll share the fix, er... kind of fix... with you to try.  WARNING:  If you don't know your way around the Library folder on OS X, don't try this!!  You can seriously jack up your system if you foul up in the Library.

Make sure you're on an administrator account.  You'll have to enter your password a bunch of times doing this, too.

Also, I'll tell you this in advance...  one of the catches is that with this fix, 2.5 WILL NOT WORK IN A 64-BIT DAW!  The plug-in will fail to load, or may completely crash the DAW if you're using 64-bit mode.  (Personally, that's almost a complete show-stopper for me right there...  I have to use 64-bit mode due to the intensity of some projects I do.  If you only use 32-bit mode, you should be safe... er something...)

Ok...  here's what I did to get this puppy to work:

First, make sure you've installed 2.02 on your machine from the actual installer.  We need to snag the resource files from this install.  (I also have Pod Farm 1 loaded, so I'm snagging those in this, too...)

Open the Library folder on your boot disk.  (NOT the one in your home folder!)  Open the "Application Support" folder and drag the "Line 6" folder to the desktop.

Go back to the Library, and open the "Audio" folder.  Open the "Plug-ins" folder.  Open "Components".  Select all the files that say POD and drag them to the desktop.  (Putting them all in a folder is a good idea...)  If you use other formats of plug-ins, do the same in the respective folders until you get 'em all.

Again, back to the 'ol Library, and open the "Frameworks" folder.  Grab the "L6TWXG.framework" and "L6TWXY.framework" folders and drag 'em to the desktop.

Back to the Library (or, Liburry, if you're Sean Connery...  lol!) and open "LaunchDaemons".  Drag "com.line6.l6ksettingmgr.plist" to the desktop.

Now, run the 2.5 installer.  I chose a custom install, only installing the plug-ins and nothing else because that's all I use, so I haven't tested the stand alone mode.  I'd imagine it'd work, though...

After 2.5 is installed, go back to Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components and drag "PODFarm.component" back in from your desktop if you had Pod Farm 1 installed. (Obviously, repeat this for the other plug-in formats if you need them, too.  Just don't drag in PF2 or any of the elements.)

Now, drag all the stuff on the desktop you grabbed (EXCEPT for the plug-ins) and put them back into their respective original folder locations in the Library.

Take a deep breath, and fire up your DAW.  Try a session and let me know what happens...

Oh, yeah, I have a couple of screen shots of what the version numbers look like on the way that works vs. the way that doesn't, too. 

Also, I'm happy to report that this hack allows the spacebar to start and stop playback in my DAW again when the Pod Farm 2.5 plug-in window is selected!!!  Fantastic!!!  That alone was worth all this effort!!!!!

I just want to say good luck... we're all counting on you.  Lol!

PS- Sorry, Windows guys...  I wish I had a fix for you.    And I don't mean that in an Eddie Haskel sort of way, either.

This thread is about Pod Farm 2.5 Platinum iLok version, which includes all model packs.  No Line 6 hardware is necessary to enable them; they're all enabled by default.
