Upgraded to macOS Sonoma a couple days ago.
Crashed 4x in the last two days when using QuickTime Player, 2x when using it to record video, 2x when using it to play .mp4 files. On each occasion a report was forwarded to Apple.
Any known fixes?
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
After some testing and research, the issue appears to be in how Displays are currently being handled in Sonoma while in mirrored mode. Throughout the crashes, my M1 MacBook Air was attached to an external monitor in mirrored mode. When changing this mode to extended, it has been a week now using Quicktime exclusively for video playback without crashes. Crashes do not occur when no monitor is attached to MacBook Air. If you are using your display in mirrored mode please switch to extended mode and let us know if you see any more crashes.
can confirm this still occurs, while macbook pro 14” 2021 is connected to external display in mirrored mode. how has this still not been fixed??
Please send reports to Apple. Maybe, if we keep endlessly reporting they will do something about it. I've been told Apple doesn't monitor this forum.
Do you know where to send these reports that they will pay attention to?
thanks for the link - I open yet another bug report...
I tried this. And Quicktime immediately crashed my entire system again. Im a videographer and not being able to play mpeg files is a real issue.
This helped, THX....
