Hi,

Which backend are you using ?
Gmerlin use to crash without further notice when trying to load unsupported files.
There is a mpv external that allow you to play lots of video format (including hap with alpha channel).
It might be in deken or here https://gitlab.com/antoine.villeret/pd-mpv

Kind regards

Antoine

I have several videos that are encoded using png, hap, and vp9 codecs,
each one of which supports transparency.

Whenever I load them into GEM they either immediately crash Pure Data
or they crash it when [auto( is sent. The terminal isn't sharing
anything useful (Pd: signal 6). Is playing transparent videos
possible?

I'm using GEM 0.94 on Ubuntu 20.04. I've described this in more detail
and provided sample files here:
