    hi there,

    i'm a pd newbie, and i would like to install the videoIO framework (found @ http://grh.mur.at/software/videoio.html) in order to pass a video stream url directly to gem.

    but how do i do that? the only compilation instructions are the following:

    "The core will be compiled with the GEM buildsystem.
    The plugins will be build with the makefile in videoIO/plugins".

    has anybody installed this framework?

    i'm running on mac os 10.6, by the way.

    thanks!

    hey all,

    i'm no expert at all in pd or MIDI protocol, but i've got an issue here that i believe pd could solve.

    i have a project in which an operator is controlling different audio tracks in a timeline using nuendo (http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/audiopostproduction_product/nuendo4.html), which is installed in a windows laptop. there's a MIDI interface Cakewalk UM-1G (http://www.cakewalk.com/products/hardware/default.aspx?Prod=UM-1G) that connects the nuendo laptop with a macbook pro, which we initially had modul8 running. the purpose of this setup is to control the videos in the macbook using MIDI messages shot by the nuendo timeline in another computer.

    what i would like to know is if pd offers a viable solution to this issue. could i use pd to manage the videos using MIDI messages. one detail: the messages should carry timecode information, so that the operator can control video timing (speed up or slow down).

    was i clear? appreciate any help, thanks!

    hey claudius, thanks for your reply,

    i checked with the guys that are working w/me in this project, we are actually not going to need a timecode control. we just need to send a 'play' message via MIDI to pd, that would play a specific video from a folder, once the timeline in Nuendo sends the message. i guess that makes it easier, right?

    would it be better to convert MIDI to OSC using, say, osculator?

    i will look into the control change messages though.

    thanks!
