Hi all,
I'm trying to get pix_video + internal camera to work on recent OSX 10.8 - 10.9 - 10.10 (PD version 43.4-extended - 32bit)

I got this error:

[pix_video]: backend #0='Darwin' : darwin dv iidc analog
could not make new SG channnel error -9405
[pix_video]: no valid video backend found
videoctl: device 1
could not make new SG channnel error -9405
videoctl: device 0

I get no signal, no led, and the messages like [enumarate( or [dialog( give an error in console.
( I tried to boot my mac on linux 14.04 and it worked fine)

PS: I also tried installing an old macam, but no change
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/

Any idea ?
thanx

Hi,

I'm trying to record a timecode + a file-path with spaces using [textfile]

example:

22450 /Users/Nico/my great directrory float float symbol float symbol float

When I [unpack] before [textfile] I get what I need:

f= 22450 s= /Users/Nico/my great directrory etc...

But when I [unpack] after replaying the file.txt using [msgfile] I can't figure out how to get the same, right now I get this:

f= 22450 s= /Users/Nico/my s= great s= directory etc...

any idea ?

cheers,
Nicolas

Hi, hope someone can help.

Using [msgfile], I'm trying to find a country name in a textfile,
and I wish to receive a number stored next to it (or even the line number could help).

=> 13 India; 14 Brazil; 15 Mexico; ...

I'm presently using [msgfile] + [find $1( but it doesn't seems to work for this purpose.

Should it be done with an other object ?
I'm sure it's pretty simple, but couldn't figure out the right trick. Can anyone help?

Thanx sebfumaster!

I finally managed to do it:

The workaround was to encode everything before writing to TXT using a random unused character: §

ENCODING for every symbol before packing=
| |
[s2l] [s2l]
[l2s §] [l2s §]
| |
[pack s s ... ... ... ... ]
[msgfile]

hope it can be useful for someone someday
