Default Reaper crashes due to "Broken pipe: 13"

Hi guys,

my band is using Reaper to manage and route our In Ear Monitoring and backing tracks combined with the web browser interface for individual IEM mixes.

Reaper crashes in unregular intervals without giving a crash report. It's just gone as if it wasn't even opened before. It worries us a lot since we can't reproduce the crashing and we actually use the set up for live use.

I pasted the console log below. Reaper crashed when this error was logged, i marked the crashes below, too:
com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.cockos.reaper.76512[9997]) Service exited due to signal: Broken pipe: 13

I'm using Reaper v5.965/64 on a Macbook Pro with OS X El Capitan. CPU is usually under 10%.

It would be extremely helpful if you could help me troubleshooting! Much appreciated!



The console logs the following:

Which Router, which IEM Sender. On which frequencies sending?
General advice:
Move your router as far away from the IEM Sender as possible.

Google for „com.apple.xpc.launchd broken pipe“ to find several hints about this problem, be it gaming or Microsoft Office.

Regarding the later I found a short discussion in a MS forum related to a failed download, where the answer was to repair HDD permissions.

Thanks for your input!

We use an AVM FritzBox 7490 and no IEM senders yet. Still cable bound.

Apple says there is no function to repair HDD permissions manually anymore on OS X El Capitan. Nonetheless, the Apple's First Aid reported no problems. Interestingly, no other software ever crashes on the laptop like Reaper does.

Even with the suggested google search, I couldn't find any solution for the broken pipe yet. Still looking...

Mmh, you mention (my) Fritzbox, but the logs show: SSID 'REAPER IEM WIFI’

Can you explain your WiFi config a bit more?

The name of our Wifi is 'REAPER IEM WIFI’.
Pretty much everything except for wifi is deactivated.
The Reaper laptop connects with wifi as well, but we could easily use a cable.
We use a WPA2 password and fixed IP addresses for the phones and the more_me web browser interface. We had server connection problems without fixed IPs.

Does this help?

But I try to find potential issues ... did you try a fixed IP for the Mac too? Just a thought.

The Mac has a fixed IP, too. Oh and I checked if the router had any system or error logs, but it didn't seem like it.

We noticed that Reaper didn't crash, if I restarted the laptop before rehearsal and only opened Reaper and no other software. However, yesterday, one time it crashed all the same (but not more that once, at least). Again the broken pipe. Here's the log.

Because there are also network errors in the log and I remember, that I found this broken pipe error also in online gaming during my research, lets further investigate this:

Do you use a 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi?

I found out for myself, that 2.4 WiFi becomes more and more unusable, because of bandwidth sharing in the neighbourhood.
I had massive performance issues with it lately in general and now exclusively use 5 GHZ without any issues.

Did you already try that?

Looks like some of the cloud communication can't stand fixed ip's.

Have you tried disabling "location services" in System preferences/Security & privacy?

It's always hard to tell which part of the cloud interferes. It's the first time I've heard of Reaper crashing because of this, though. Usually it surfaces through the audio driver and results in crackling sound, or no sound...

Another trick:

Connect the machine that runs Reaper with ethernet to the router. Disable Wifi.

What probably happens is that locationservicesd is looking for the router's Wifi name. If it can't find that name in Apple's cloud database, it can't resolve your location. So you might also need to switch "Find my Mac" off.

Since you use it live, the real-world location that is registered to the Wifi name, changes. And that makes locationd go haywire apparently. Apple should debug that better, as they don't seem to take roaming routers into account. Which brings me to an idea

EDIT
Also, I suppose the router doesn't connect to the internet when you use it live? In that case, other cloud stuff will go haywire. Like the network time daemon.

A fix for this is coming in the next builds (starting with 5.974+dev0424)

I'm super impressed, Reaper hasn't crashed anymore since the update came. Thanks for the great work, tips and help everyone!
