Hey I have a very similar problem for an installation where we have to use a windows7 pc with pd-extended (!! yes I know it is not mantained anymore but worked fine in the computers of the school where we programmed the project, that were running windows10). I also installed QuickTime and tried many types of formats (.mov, .avi, .mp4) without being able to get an acceptable streaming rate ( using a counter to move the index box number for [pix_film] ). Now I think I will try [system] object with a cmd line message to see if it opens the videos with QuickTime. If anybody had some result mean while please tell me, also I would like to know if maybe pd2lork would help. Thanks for your attention and feedback

@alexandros Hi Alex thank you for your contribution very valuable. I also get the same with this simple example but if I put a code that takes the stream of values from a distance sensor in the raspberry I do not get any output from [shell]. I have been able with OSC but it is still not working properly also, maybe I am doing something wrong with the python code, because it is not working all the time. Sometimes it says that the channel (pin where I read the sensor) is already in use (?? I am still new to reading sensors directly with the RPi, maybe you have some opinion). Thanks anyway for all

@whale-av

Hi thanks for your reply, I solved the problem.
I run in Pd 0.47.1 (vanilla) a patch containing [shell] object that I use to launch python script with message

| sudo python dist_continuo_shell.py (
|
[ shell ]

(by the way I was expecting this object to output the value that the python script prints as Alex Drymonitis suggests, but I get no output from the shell object - I guess this is issue for another post).

In the same patch I receive the OSC packets with netreceive. (I WAS FORGETTING TO PUT THE FLAGS -u -b ) like this:

| listen 5000 (
|
[ netreceive -u -b ]
|
[ oscparse ]

The error I got was that he was unable to establish connection. Of course everything becomes clear afterwards, thank you very much for your response anyway and your support in this forum.

Hi all, anybody solved this problem? I am on RPi 3, raspbian stretch, latest Vanilla a python 2. I need to send data from Python to Pd and I tried osc and got errors using mrpeach library, oscparse I still have ti test it and the shell object is working to start the python script that prints the data but no output in Pd.
Thanks for any thought

@Maelstorm
Hello

I ave the same problem with [list-drip] but on Pd vanilla version. Is there any repository that I can install to have the object [list-drip]? I checked if I have /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/list-abs or /usr/lib/pd/extra/list-abs (yes I have two directories with files related to Pd) but I have no directory list-abs...

please can you indicate me a way to get through this?

Hi! just to report that I notice the same thing

I tried naming them [part head 1] and [par head 2] but no result.
Did you get any advance on this point?

Hi, I tried to open pd with this command: ' pasuspender pd-extended ' and 'pasuspender --pd-extended ' with the same result, error on the output. Maybe I have some other issue on my pc?

Hi guys, can not solve the problem but just to ad my experience...
I also get this error, only on output though. I just can not figure out why and when that happens.

ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe

What is a broken pipe??
I am running a patch where I record loops and play them.
I use Xubuntu and latest version of PD-extended.

Hope somebody can explain what happens, it does not make too much damage but I get some noises while I play.

Thanks a lot to anybody who pays attention to this.

Hi beautyfull community! does anybody know of any patch that detectes movements in a video and correlates sounds to them? for example using [pix_movement]...
I am an artist trying to use pd to control real time visual and sound effects during a musical and dance perfomance. Any ideas/comments about this are appreciated. thanks to all those who responded to my first posts! I am studying to understand better the prgram so I can make more specific questions
thanks a lot meanwhile!

peace
Mick

Hi do you have an idea if anybody has codified the translation of sound (notes and chords) into light and colors? thanks Mick
