Iohannes,

you were right, [create, 1( is the solution. Plays all files, but the quality is extremely poor.
As I was in a big fog, everything is blur. The original size of the videos are 1280x720 and the dimen for gemwin is the same. If I reduce the size to 360x180, no difference, all blur.

Tried meanwhile to open playlists created in VLC, but no luck, PD creates a black rectangle, and nothing is played. Tried with m3u,m3u8,html or anything VLC offers as a playlist file type. What do you think, how should it work?

Regards:

Popesz

Iohannes,

I guess the plugins are loaded. PD writes the next after launch:
[pix_video]: backend #0='v4l2'    : v4l2 analog
[pix_video]: backend #1='v4l'    : v4l analog
[pix_video]: backend #2='vlc'    : vlc

looks good.



I force to load the vlc plugin as you mentioned, connecting message
[driver vlc( to pix_video, but nothing happens. After loading [device
file:///home/bunkier/Desktop/8z.mov(
PD says:
error: v4l2 : no v4l2 input device on bus
file:///home/bunkier/Desktop/8z.mov

error: Cannot open '': 2, No such file or directory
error: v4l: failed opening device: 'file://home/bunkier/Desktop/8z.mov'

works here, though i'm using [device file:///tmp/homer.avi(
are you sure, that the file exists and that vlc can play it?


You can check my simple patch in the attachment.

the only things i noticed:
- in your patch ou don't turn rendering on, (there's only a [create( but not a [create, 1( or simile)
- in your patch you have no order of the messages [driver( and [device( defined. **always use trigger when you want to connect one outlet to multiple inlets**.
- in your patch you are tring to open an mp3 file. i don't know what you expect to be displayed?




Does this plugin work with VLC playlists too? How would you loop it?


no idea about playlists.
most likely you can use them.
