C:/Program Files (x86)/Pd/Pd/externals/Gem: can't load library
C:/Program: can't open
Files: can't open
(x86)/Pd/externals/Gem: can't open

is this happening because of a virus ?
a day before the gem was loading smoothly but today it is throwing this issue:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Pd/Pd/externals/Gem: can't load library
C:/Program: can't open
Files: can't open
(x86)/Pd/externals/Gem: can't open

I went to preference and selected a path and loaded it at startup yet the same problem is persisting
what is the issue here?
please help

hi thanks for the reply and suggestion
the loader message is sending:

[pix_film]: loader[0] DirectShow
[pix_film]: loader[1] image

his is what I am getting as backend after sending the loader message to pix film.
Problem 2 :while the .mp4 are playing but the video playing on the gem window is not smooth it stutters

And ofcourse .mpeg files and .avi are not playing and freezing the programme once I press toggle connected to auto$1 message

@whale-av
Hi thanks a lot for your kind reply
The version i am working one is the latest Pure data download 0.52-2 and in 64bit
now I did go through the downloads u recommended and after doing that I am able to play quite smoothly the videos that are in .mp4 version in puredata through auto$1.
But the .avi and .mpeg files are not playing though they are getting unpacked properly but the moment I pkay with auto $1 the programme hangs
is thr any fix to this?
another q sorry for being naive but what did you meant by (DS) backend
thanks for your kind help

pix_film]: loaded file: E:/leto.mpeg with 1579 frames (352x640) at 30.000030 fps
after loading the file
and also when I am unpacking the pix_film object I am getting the requisite information also
when I send the loader message to the pix_film it is giving no indication in the console window

@60hz
the console window is showing:
[pix_film]: loaded file: E:/leto.mpeg with 1579 frames (352x640) at 30.000030 fps
and also when I am unpacking the pix_film object I am getting the requisite information also
but then when I play it the gem-window immediately hangs

[pix_video]: backend #0='VFW' : vfw dv iidc analog
[pix_video]: backend #1='VIDS' : videoInput
[pix_video]: backend #2='decklink' <--- DISABLED

please help

[pix_video]: no valid video backend found
[gemw32window]: unable to switch to current window (do you have one?), cannot render!
version:pd-0.51-4

I am also having problem with pix_video.
after creating the object and after opening it with create message
the camera and the window opens and then crashes altogether without any trace.
I am working on a windows 10 machine 64 bits
well after creating the pix_video object this is what I am getting in the console window.:
[pix_video]: backend #0='DS' : directshow dv iidc analog
I think this problem have risen previously with others- by going through some earlier post but still it is not helping
i downloaded the extended view toolkit to use 360 camera but even then the same think is happening
after click the create mesage the window opens and the camera starts and then everything vanishes without a trace
please suggest the solution
i am attaching the patch
forgive me if I am bring some foolish questions into the forum.for vid.pd

Hi whale-av thanks for your suggestion .
I already have Quicktime installed.
And I wrote since the problem problem persists after that .
The pix_image problem got solved may be it was due to an issue with the dimensions.
Do you think if I reinstall pd extended the problem might go away?
i am working in a windows machine

this is what I am getting in the comsole
[pix_film]: loaded file: E:/frompendrive/pvt shows/bhavna but small.mp4 with 1 frames (662x538) at -1.000000 fps

Thankyou
@bocanegra, @ingox and @jameslow super thankyou to all of you for suggesting the solution.

I got a solution with % while probing with the patch later on but the solution with delay and trigger is something that didnt occured to me
So a huge huge thanks and for the super discussion.
