>>I have a working pix_film using the newer framework, AVFoundation,

unaware this was working. code pushed to github? i would be interested in testing but unfortunately have no time (or skills) for this kind of dev work. 

i am surprised that you are the only one working on this... shame because it seems if a group was organized to complete it would actually get done.

thanks for the work you have put in

cheers

GEM needs to be updated to use a different video backend as QuickTime is no longer available. This has been a known issue for years...

In the meantime, there is no solution but to downgrade to 10.11 as QT is no longer present on 10.12.

In the longer term, I have a working pix_film using the newer framework, AVFoundation, ported from OpenFrameworks but there are some performance issues I haven’t figured out yet. Once that’s ironed out I’ll port the video grabber next.

It would be nice to get some development help on this, but it looks like in the end it’s up to me. Note, this is not a high priority for me right now.

Hello there

I work with PD on macbook pro - macOS Sierra.

My built-in camera is not working with puredata since I have updated the OS to Sierra. When I use [pix_video] I get the error below: 

could not make new SG channnel error -9405
[pix_video]: no valid video backend found

Any solutions? 

Thank you!
Yousif
