KDENLIVE crashes while rendering on Mac M2

Help

This error comes up when crashed:
Detected locale “C” with character encoding “US-ASCII”, which is not UTF-8. Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to “UTF-8” instead. If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual for more information.

I’m not sure if this is connected to a race condition about locale we just solved.

Make a copy of your project first, then you can test with the daily build: Index of /ci-builds/multimedia/kdenlive/master/macos-arm64 if the issue is gone.

Thank you very much for your early response. I did as you wrote me. I tried the daily version. But the result is the same again. I am sending the print screens.
It is interesting that there is no problem when rendering to .webm, the problem is when rendering to .mp4

Used MacOS Sonoma 14.0

I have the same error on Mac with M2 processor. The Kdenlive version is 24.5.0.

It turned out that I had no space left on the device. When I freed some space the error stopped.

I have the same problem here, so much so, it’s become unusable.

Minimum requirements for Kdenlive: Apple macOS 10.15 (Catalina)
Make sure you have enough space left on the drive for the rendered file, plus some for caching.
HD/SSD should only filled-up to 90% maximum.

You can temporarily set the locale for your current terminal session by running:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

And run the App in the same terminal:

/Applications/Kdenlive.app/Contents/MacOS/kdenlive

Hello, I was about to write a post asking about this exact same issue when I found this post. I’m on a MacBook Air with M1 chip. I still have 40 gigs of hard drive space out of 250 gigs, so I assume limited storage is not the issue here.

I only downloaded Kdenlive 2 days ago so I assume this hasn’t been patched yet.

Hey, I just wanted to come back and say I also cleared a lot of hard drive space like another forum member did and it fixed the bug.

I’m also getting this with kdenlive 25.04.3 and macOS 12.7.6 on Intel

  1. Tried modifying the LaunchAgent: environment.plist - did not work

  2. Tried modifying Info.plist in the app bundle and re-signing - did not work

  3. Tried supplying the environment directly to the app execution:
    LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 /Applications/kdenlive.app/Contents/MacOS/kdenlive
