Hi! I appologize for my english:

I´m fascinated with the posibilities of Pd. But i have a problem with the pix_texture command in GEM:

I can´t work with video or pics using pix_texture. when i try to run a patch with pix_texture, the Pd messages panel show an error message, and this message self repeats until I turn off the patch. I try to use different formats of videos and pics, and nothing work.

If anybody understand me, can you help me?

Thanks!!! Have a nice day!!!

What is the error message you are getting?
What is the version of Gem you are using?
Which platform are you on? (Windows/OS X/Linux/something else?)
Can you post your patch (or a smaller example that still gives the error)?

Hi!!!

Sorry, I forgot that details. Here is:

-The error message is the follows:

GL: numeración no válida

(Yeah, in spanish! And loops until I turn off the gemhead).

-The version of GEM I´ve got is the 0.91-cvs. When I start the Pd, appears this:

GEM: Graphics Environment for Multimedia
GEM: ver: 0.91-cvs
GEM: compiled: Dec 11 2006
GEM: maintained by IOhannes m zmoelnig
GEM: Authors : Mark Danks (original version on irix/windows)
GEM: Chris Clepper (macOS-X)
GEM: Daniel Heckenberg (windows)
GEM: James Tittle (macOS-X)
GEM: IOhannes m zmoelnig (linux/windows)
GEM: using SSE2 optimization
error: GEM Man: Could not initialize quicktime: error -2093

xsample objects, version 0.3.2pre

xrecord~, xplay~, xgroove~

-I run Pd in Windows Vista. But that error appears in XP too.

-I´ll try to post my patch in word.

I hope you can help me. Thank you.

the translation of the error is "GL: invalid enumeration" I think, it's a known issue, try searching pd-list or gem-dev list or the pd-gem bugtracker on sourceforge.net

as for not working, it might be something to do with texture mode - i'll try your patch later tonight to see what i can come up with, but it could be down to drivers or hardware...

Hi Aqueronte,

Your patch runs fine on my MacBookPro under 10.5.3 and PD extended 0.40.3.
[pix_texture] behaves as expected.
You didn't mention the PD version you're working with...
Best

Hi, fdo:

The version of Pd I use is 0.39.3 extended. May be I can try with your version (0.40.1), because Claudius said me about to use a debugger, but i don´t know how to use it . Thank you. I reply later.

Hi again:

I try an option:

I don´t find your version of Pd (the extended 0.40.3) because I think is only available for Mac.
But I try to run the extended 0.38.4 version (more older than mine) and the surprise is: pix texture
worked fine . The problem was with the sound processing: this became more slowly and my patches
strangely deforms.

I´m still continue work with the 0.39.3 version, until I find a solution

Thank you everybody. Nice day.

P.D: How can I configurate Gem in the "Path" option?. It´s very confusing. In this extended version Gem works automatically. But I observed
in the extended 0.38.4 version, that option got an kind of path for Gem.

Hi again, everyone!!!

The final solution I took is to install the "vanilla" version Pd 0.41-2 and add the external librery of GEM (this last was particularly hard ). I proof my sound patches and some of images and video, and everyting ok. Now I can still learn this funny program. I´m very happy ;D

Thank you, everyone. Greetings!!!
