Where do you run the backend? Is that also on mac? Are you able to build 
the backend?

What is the problem with the frontend? Is it a compile error or a 
problem with watching video?

I may be able to suggest a workaround if I know what the problem is.

The problem with backporting this to v32 is that there are changes in 
many places to support it. By the time you have backported everything 
you probably have much of V34-pre anyway and maybe won't be able to build.
