Hey all,

I've attached a picture of the problem I am facing with read file. I want my patch to read the number that has been written into a text file and display it in the number box. A little hard to explain what I mean but perhaps my picture will explain. Am I on the right track maybe?

Many thanks,

J

Hello, I've been working with the counter object and I am just wondering if there is a way you can set min and max numbers so that the counter can automatically reset without having to bang?

I tried with |min $1| and |max $1| messages in the first inlet but the console said that it couldn't create.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,
Jack

Another video related query. Apologies.

I'm wondering if there is anyway to enable videos to capture with a countdown (so every few seconds or so) or just automatically?

using pix_record at the moment!

thanks,

Hey all!

I've been working with |translateXYZ| object in order to arrange my videos in a grid in the GEM window.

However when I try to arrange the videos in a 3X3 grid there is a knock on effect with each translate object. Is there away to prevent this from happening? It is difficult to organize the videos properly while this knock on effect is occuring.

I have enclosed the patch for anyone to look at. It seems like such a little thing but I appear to be completely struggling.

Kind regards,
Jack

Hey there,

Been working with read and write objects. I'm struggling to understand how to save information.

I need a videogrid that i have made to load up everytime. So the video files are automatically in the GEM window.

I need my patch to recognise the videos and load them each time I open the patch...is this possible?

Thanks a lot!

Hey!

I've been looking for advice on multiple GEM windows but I haven't found any promising alternatives.

I'm using two monitors and need a GEM window in each. Is the only way around this to make a gigantic GEM window and split it between the two screens?

J

Hey there!

Using textfile object but having problems writing text files.

I can do it by manually selecting a pathway but after altering my patch for automated pathways, I have no idea how to write the text files.

error: gatom: no method for 'write'

Maybe the attached patch will make it clear!

Thanks
J

Hey there! New to the forum so I thought I would start off by asking a question about video.

I am looking for a patch that will enable video delay on a live feed of video. How could I go about doing this?

Thanks Very Much,

Jack

Okay so I've taken the clear message away, should this help?

Still can't quite get the problem...tried a rewind...nothing. Just need the text file to read the number and display it? Mind blowing.

Hey there,

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you both for your help. Forgive me for my novice descriptions.

The 'couldn't create' in the console was indeed because they wanted floats.

I've now attached my [select 8] outlet to the rest inlet in the [counter] object. Is this on the right track maybe, I was unsure.

Once again thank you very much.

Hey there! Thanks husk...with OSX multiple pd's aren't an option...thanks for the mirror abstract though.

Think i'm just going to have to increase the dimension of the GEM win and spread it across two monitors and pile everything into it! hahaha.

Thanks again!

pix_delay does work. connect a number box and alter the milliseconds and change pic delay to |pix_delay 100|

should be fine then!

never mind got it sorted! amaaaaaaazing

Ah you legend! Thanks so much! Had a bit of a delve and it won't respond with pix_video. It only seems to work with pre-recorded videos. Strange! Thanks though!
