Hi Jesse, just wanted to update you and let you know that I finally got SL working and now use it as my default looper plugin in MainStage! Thanks so much for your help!
What did you do to get it to work? This might be intereseting for other people.

I added this line to my /etc/hosts file:

Code: Select all

#repairing sooperlooper
127.0.0.1 gamma.local
"gamma.local" is my hostname. To figure out hour hostname, type `hostname` in your terminal.

I had enabled the software firewall feature in Preferences => Security & Privacy => Firewall. This prevented slgui from communicating over UDP port 9951 to both localhost and the IP assigned to eth0. Disabling the firewall fixed the GUI.

I just installed SooperLooper on High Sierra and this thread has been helpful. Upon launch the GUI app would appear for a moment then throw a can't connect to SL server. Using comi's solution got me running, I ended up adding 127.0.0.1 north-fork.local to /etc/hosts. There are some "unsupported compressor" errors but they aren't show stoppers.

I'm posting the ./sooperlooper ./slgui and hostname outputs for reference:
